Talking about this and that – getting scammed, you know the usual. We didn’t know it at the time, but we were under massive culture shock in Delhi, India.
Just another day, just another Egirdir hike– absolutely stunning views of the Peninsula. We were staying about midway to the tip. )
Our final stop in Laos is the birthplace of current regime, Pathet Lao. The communism adherents sought refuge in the Vieng Xay during the 9 years of bombing from the US. Its a fascinating place, full of history and beautiful scenery. The same cannot be said for our guesthouse, but at least the view was…
Walking route to Jvari church from Mtskeheta turned out to be super simple – despite the guidebook threatening us with a hard and tedious trek. Totally worth it too considering taxis were trying to charge something ridiculous like $10. Views are a bonus )
Most definitely our worst, most dangerous transport day on this trip. Welcome to Georgia, where a bus ticket gets you a seat in a private minivan from hell – otherwise known as our epic 9 hour, 3 different buses commute from Mestia to Tbilisi.
What’s it like to take a long distance bus in Kerela? Well, much like taking a city bus elsewhere in India…the breeze is nice.
