Georgia Travel Guides
We climbed twice to 6000+ feet which was tiring, but it’s always so beautiful at the top of a mountain. In Georgia we enjoyed time in Batumi and longer than we expected in Tbilisi due to sickness.
Dogs chase bikes, but there's no need to fear stray dogs. Find out why and how to handle them here.
This is George! A lovely cyclist who we met yesterday. George was a ray of sunshine in our day – and we had surprising connections to this Romanian cyclist!
Before I started this trip the one thing I was afraid of was dogs! I even said this to the local paper who laughed down the phone – how can you cycle around the world and be scared mostly of dogs.
The roads in Georgia were nothing short of terrible. Of all the countries we’ve visited we rank Georgia as the second worse, only to Uzbekistan.
Well today marks 4 months on the road with my best friend and boyfriend. 🥰 For the last 4 months we’ve been living on our bicycles, moving to a new place almost every single day.
When we stayed in Batumi, Stew and I stayed with a Georgian family. This family cooked dinner and breakfast for us and welcomed us into their home for 2 nights. During our stay they were celebrating the new arrival of a baby girl into the family.
Yesterday we arrived in Tbilisi! We’ve worked hard on the bike the last few days so today we’ve enjoyed some rest. The day before arriving in Tbilisi we had one of our favourite moments of the trip…
Here are some of the faces of cyclists we met on our way to Goderdzi pass! David, Sam, Joseph, Karel, Julio and Damiene.
Well today we made it, we climbed to Goderdzi pass, 6643ft (2025m) above sea level. This is now the highest climb of the trip. The road continued to be tough this morning and with a very thick mist the views were not what we hoped for.
Today got me thinking about cycle-touring, adventure & challenges and the relationship between the three.
We booked an Airbnb, expecting a place to ourselves, but ended up staying with a Georgian family in their home. The home was listed incorrectly on Airbnb, but the moment we walked through the door we couldn’t have been happier.
