Explore GEORGIA // Overland Series Ep. 11

Описание: Georgia, foothills of the Caucasus, hot springs, and the best bread. We were instantly hooked.

After over a month in Turkey, we crossed into Georgia. The border crossing was a smooth process. Soon after the border, we could see the first tips of the magical Caucasus mountains. First things first cars need insurance in Georgia no matter if Georgia is on your insurance papers or not.
We set up our first camp in Georgia below the ancient cave town of Vardzia. Over the next days, we made our way northwest visited several hot springs, and camped next to a sulfur geyser close to Kutaisi. But we wanted to explore the caucasian mountains. The weather turned on us so we hit the road and made our way towards the region of Mestia which is the gateway to the high Caucasus and the famous town Ushguli.
Georgia is known for its bread dishes, they got all kinds of stuffed bread and all of them are delicious, we stumbled up on the first version "Puri", and you cannot leave Georgia without trying it.

Enjoy the ride!
