Georgia nestles between Russia, Turkey, Chechnya, Armenia and Azerbaijan putting it right at the border between Europe and Asia.
At its north and south borders you find some impressively large mountains called the Caucus (the Lesser Caucus to the south). We travelled around quite a lot, as you can see, and managed to see Tbilisi, the capital, and some of the beautiful scenery in the north.
But a picture, he said in a cliched manner, paints a thousand words, so on with the photos. I may add a little commentary later, but for now it’s just the pictures.

If the pictures have piqued your interest, there are a few web sites that you might want to visit:

- Tbilisi

- As I recall, there weren’t very many travel guides for Georgia when I went. There are a few more now, including the Lonely Planet Guide (Amazon UK/US).
