Today we leave Georgia. It has been a good place to visit; good food; good wine; good beer; brilliant scenery and a culture that is different to any of the other countries we have so far visited.
Once back in Turkey, we intend to head for Lake Van, so we opt for the eastern most boarder crossing. As we get closer the road gets quieter, rather odd but this is a little used route?? We were right about that, very little used....it isn't open yet! About turn and head back to find the next crossing point, which is at Vale. It doesn't matter, we are treated to more of the beautiful Georgian scenery. Across the hillsides, hundreds of trees like burning beacons guide the way to Turkey.
A quick lunch stop by a river turns in the ideal opportunity for an overdue hair wash. I wonder if the beauty industry know the benefits of washing your hair in river water?
This boarder crossing is quiet, small, and very friendly. Soon we are through, saying Goodbye to Georgia and Hello once again to Turkey.
Back in Turkey and back to the roadworks. There is major investment going on all over Turkey, it seems; extensive new roads; dams; reservoirs. The only trouble with the new roads is that it is harder to find places to pull off for the night. At dusk we find a track into some woods, it is damp and dark but will have to do for tonight.
