Bike - not a luxury but a means of transportation FOR PEACE (continued, part 4) Georgia is located in the Caucasus. There is also Azerbaijan, Armenia and several other areas that are part of Russia (Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia). In the south-west is the border with Turkey, south-east - with Iran.'s all here fighting with everyone, and sometimes even to themselves. Georgia and Russia are at war, Russia is at war with Chechen separatists, Georgia is in conflict with its separatist South Ossetia and Abkhazia and hostility of Armenia and Azerbaijan lasts longer one hundred years. However, I have not mentioned about the problems between Turkey and Armenia. friendly Georgians Marco Polo, Jason and his Argonauts, Strabo (Greek historian and geographer, approx. Perevi.) and those who are carrying their goods on the Silk Road, visited the Caucasus, long before the moment I arrived here on his bicycle. Today there is only one major highway that runs through all of Georgia, the M1, on it and I moved most of the time. Smaller roads in different directions in the mountains and semi-desert, there are also Georgian-Armenian pipeline, which its name is more like a fashion brand than the road (meaning, Giorgio Armani, a name which is consonant with the English phrase "Georgiana Arminian", "Georgian-Armenian", approx. TRANSFER).. M1 highway in no way reminded me of the London-Leeds road (the road between these cities has the same identifier - M1, approx. TRANSFER).. Sometimes I wistfully recalled the roadside service, which is in England, and which almost no here. But mostly, my mind was occupied by others. Loop in the foothills of the Caucasus mountains, I'm not tired of enjoying the stunning mountain scenery, noisy rivers and streams with drinking water. Rather by accident than by sober calculation, during my travels I so far managed to avoid crossing the high mountains. I rode next to the Alps, Ural Mountains and the Carpathian Mountains, but never climbed them, not to mention the passage through the mountain ridges. My first stop in Georgia occurred in the ancient city of Kutaisi. I stopped here not only because that this ancient city of great historical interest, but also because the tourists are granted one of the most amazing opportunities that I have ever heard. The Georgian government in order to attract tourists to the beautiful, albeit problematic, the Caucasus region began to finance free weekly flights. written off on Russian propeller-driven aircraft you can reach the Svaneti region, a city that is high in the mountains. Conversely, you can return and not on the plane. Flights are performed on Tuesday, landing in the procedure a queue, but the flight may be canceled at any time if the mountains are adverse weather conditions. Where is your car, buddy! Monday night in Kutaisi happened earthquake 6.2 magnitude. epicenter was located somewhere very deep within us. It's not because of Chachi, not because of Because very tired, I slept all the earthquake, but the adjacent buildings suffered considerable damage. Now I can pretty confidently say that a seismologist from me useless, but even I noticed that if you build is not quite secure at home in the area of ??geological fault sooner or later during an earthquake can occur various troubles. Local residents were shocked and indignant, they shared the mood of the local press. Okay, well, dropped a few houses, injuring several people and even some left homeless, but now I saw the movie " Tremors, "and I think that everyone should be happy that it was just an earthquake, and not some giant worm-eater. Always think positive, I think so. It seems that a strong earthquake was also considered adverse weather conditions because the free flight the next morning was canceled. Some things are too good to be true. This case confirms it. Start material: Completion of material:
