Currently in Tiblisi, capital city of Georgia.  Got a couple of days to explore what looks to be a very nice city.  Georgian independence day tomorrow combined with two truck birthdays and a wanderers return, so party time!!  Georgia has been an amazing country.  We've wild camped in snow clad mountains, climbed to glaciers, stayed in some fantastic homestays and hosted a Georgian feast for the local village people.  ( Not village people as in the song! ).  The food is different, some good some not so good, salt is added in great quantity to everything which I'm not keen on.  But the food on the truck is great, so I'm coping!  The locals are very friendly and welcoming and like Turkey I have been pleasantly surprised.  Missing the kids and my two bambinos but I'm sure they're in good hands.  Also very sad to recieve the news about Mick Hall, best wishes and love to Carol.

Next stop the oil fields of Azarbyjan, or something like that!
