We were a bit worried about the border crossing so took a taxi, 2 hours and less than £20. The border was very easy, out of Azerbaijan, walk across the bridge and into Georgia. Because the border is effectively closed there were hundreds of lorries waiting to enter Azerbaijan. Another taxi 5km to our stay in Lagodekhi where we wanted to walk in the national park. It rained all morning but we had a lovely walk in the woods later.
Our bus to Telavi didn't arrive so we half bussed, half taxied to our surprisingly comfortable guest house (complete with wine tasting). More rain in the morning but visited the castle and museum in the afternoon. When the clouds cleared there was fresh snow on the mountains opposite.
Next day car and driver (he got booked by the police for his crazy driving!) to visit other historical sites, the cathedral at Alaverdi, then the church and tower at Gremi finishing up at the monastery at Nekreseli. All very interesting and educational.
Hopefully off to Gori via Tbilisi tomorrow.
