Resting in Tbilisi and awaiting for the Azerbijian visas to come through, hopefully by lunch time. Turkey as I hoped was a fantastic place to travel through. The scenery was fantastic and the ancient town of Goreme was the highlight. Hundreds of houses in caves, including our hotel room. I will add photos when I get the time and technology together.

Georgia has the worst drivers so far, on the 2 lane 'motorway' on the way in cars overtake overtaking cars in both directions, so before the critical moment 3 lanes of traffic are approaching each other in both directions, and all withyout indicatosr! I hold back on the bike and get eady for the hard shoulder. Some how I don't think the driving will improve much in Azerbijian!

We are now into the 4th week of the trip, by the end of which we will be a third of the way in time to the end of our Asian route (Korea), we will have covered more than a third in distance, but this rate will slow down when we start Mongolia.

Yet another breakfast of cheese bread and salami awaits.
