16/5/99 Back over the border into Georgia near Qazax, again
no problems and with a short stop in Tblisi to collect spares, headed out
along the Georgian Military Highway towards Russia. The new belt and sprocket
took 9 days to arrive from Australia, customs wanted their share but released
the goods without charge as they were parts for a travelling motorcycle and
would be leaving the country. It amazed me that all this could be arranged
on a Sunday and within 30 minutes of locating the goods.
17/5/99 The Georgian Military Highway deteriorates into
a series of muddy puddles and collapsing tunnels as it nears the Krestovy
Pass, snow lies along the roadside and trucks gouge larger pot holes.
