The flight across the atlantic went without a hitch -- except we missed our flight in Kiev and had to spend an additional 4 hours in the airport. Got to Tblisi late last night. Our cab driver to the hotel was suicidal -- he clearly had an axe to grind. The hotel we chose is in the Old Town -- which is no misnomer. If something isn't done soon this city is going to collectively collapse one day. Buildings are extremely old and almost elegant in their dilapidation. Alot of really old churches. We've only spent a few hours walking around today but it appears this city isn't visited much by tourists. No one talks english and everything -- including the menus -- are written in Georgian, which is certifiably impossible to read. It will be a challenge.
The plan right now is to stay in Tblisi tonight and then catch a mini bus tomorrow morning to a town on the Georgian Military Highway in the Greater Caucuses near the Russian border called Kazbegi. We hear its beautiful -- at least that what's we thought we heard.
Hope all is well.
