12/5/99 Back across the border into Georgia at Sadakhlo
with Charlie requiring assistance on and off the motorcycle, (the likely
pattern for the next few days) and the disintegrated road jarring his leg
at each pothole. The most treacherous sections are where the manhole covers
are missing in the middle of the road, we don't follow too closely behind
other vehicles. With private enterprise gradually growing in both countries
and a few western cars appearing on the road alongside the Russian models,
mini skirts prevalent and well dressed individuals about, both countries
seem to be slowly moving towards capitalism from socialism.
13/5/99 After last nights camp in a paddock just out of
Tblisi we crossed into Azerbaijan near Lagodekhi.
