A lot of cyclists we met on the road recommended Georgia, it seems to be pretty near the top of most people’s list. Our route was a bit too straightforward to really explore the country, we didn’t go to the mountains on the North or South, but we also like it quite a bit. Crossing from Azerbaijan the first thing we noticed was how much poorer it seemed to be, a bit a of a surprise to me. But it is also more rural, cuter, and a lot more familiar to us who grew up in Christian countries. Wine and cheese were back on the menu, but what we liked the most was khinkali (dumplings) and Borjomi water. The towns were pleasant, Tbilisi perhaps a bit less interesting than I thought it’d be, but still nice. The highlight were the small roads in the countryside, usually unpaved and following some river through the mountains, with more cows than cars.
Our route was Lagodekhi - Sighnaghi - Telavi - Tbilisi - Gori - Kutaisi - Batumi
