Gudauri & Kazbegi | Day 2 | 'Solo Travel' 2017 | Georgia
My day 2 in #Georgia: from #Tbilisi to #Ananuri, #Gudauri, #Kazbegi and back to Tbilisi
We started our trip from 9:30 hours in the morning from Tbilisi city. We used the Georgian military road - the historic name for the major route through the Caucasus from Georgia to #Russia.
We visited the Ananuri Church (church of the Mother of GOD) - is a castle complex on the #Aragvi #river in Georgia about 45 miles (72 kilometres) from Tbilisi. A #UNESCO #World #Heritage #site built in 13th century as a castle. The castle was the scene of numerous battles and the watch tower gave signal for the monastery for the war time.
We stopped awhile at the waterfall of Gudauri, a drinking water - great for passers to fetch water 'coz it's near the highway. Also we passed by the Gudauri village - a quite place. Next we stopped by the Russia–Georgia Friendship Monument or Treaty of Georgievsk Monument.
We changed our car when we went to Kazbegi mountain, roads going to Kazbegi is difficult especially that spring time - wet road. At the mountain and in the Gergeti Trinity church was freaking cold and windy too! I felt like the wind blew me away. :D
We took our lunch at a Georgian-Russian speaking restaurant. They can't understand English. Good thing I was with a Russian in the trip and she order food in behalf of me. Thank you! I ate Kachapuri with egg that cost about 7.00 lari (Gel7.00). From here 16:45 hours we went back to Tbilisi and reached there in the evening.

Georgia: Tbilisi
Georgia, 2018
Georgia is next to the countries of Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. It also has a coast on the Black Sea. It lies at the edge of Europe and Asia.
Georgia has many mountains. Its highest point is 5,048 m above sea level. The mountains running through Georgia are called the Caucasus Mountains.
Highest mountain in Georgia is Mount Shkhara at 5,068 m. The coastline of Georgia is 310 km long. Georgia has about 25,000 rivers. Largest river is the Mtkvari.
The capital of Georgia is called Tbilisi.
The Georgians are an ancient people. Their Capital Tbilisi was founded around AD 400, after the end of the Roman Empire . Western Georgia was part of the Roman Empire before then. The Arabs captured it in 635 AD. The culture continued and they flourished through trade. In the 900s Arabs were weaker and Georgia became their own country again. It was the major country in the region until the Mongols invaded in 1223. Georgia was part of the Mongolian empire for a century on and off until 1334, when King Giorgi V took over. In the 1500s the Persians invaded Georgia four times from 1541-1544. In 1555 the Kings of Kartli ruled through the will of the Persian Shahs.
In 1783 The treaty of Georgievsk was signed between Catherine the Great of Russia and King Heraclius II, giving Russia the power to protect Georgia. Then, in 1798 the Persians burned Tbilisi to the ground.
From 1811 to 1918 Georgia was under the Tsar of Russia. Their culture survived intact. From 1918 to 1921 Georgia was independent, and then was part of the Soviet Union.
In 1991 Georgia declared their independence and they have ruled their own country ever since. There was a rough patch between 1994 and 1995 when the economy was poor, but now Georgia is a country with ties with the United States, and are currently applying to NATO.
In 2008 Georgia was involved in the 2008 South Ossetia war.

About the 1992 visit to the former Soviet Union -
David (KK4WW) & Gaynell (KK4WWW) Larsen first visited the Soviet Union in 1990 before the breakup of the Soviet Union. In the early 90's the 'Foundation for International Radio Service (FAIRS) was formed. This video was part of a training and Outreach for 'Virginia Tect' in Blacksburg, VA. We were fortunate to have Jerry Scheeler, a film producer from the university accompany us during the 1992 visit shown in this video. Jerry was the videographer & editor for this video. We continue today to have contact and projects with many of the folks seen in the video. It was very exciting to be working in the Soviet Union during this time and we had many great experiences . We are sad to say to of our fellow American traveler - John Douglas N0ISA and Ukrainian friend Vlad Goncharsky U5WF have passed on and as ham radio folks say - They are now silent keys. FAIRS members made many additional visits to the former Soviet Union during the 90's. During all these visit FAIRS members received Russian or Ukrainian ham radio licenses and operated from various locations. Dave KK4WW had licenses LC4WW , US5WW and others -- It was a lot of fun with the Russian and Ukrainian hams.
Our Ham Radio host for all these trips was Victor Goncharsky US5WE and his wife Helen Goncharsky UR5WA. Victor and Helen have also visited us a number of times in the US. We hope to have Helen here for the 2013 Dayton Hamvention. We continue to this day to have on going FAIRS projects with Victor and his FAIRS members in the Ukraine.

The Georgian Military Road:
The Georgian Military Road is the historic name for a major route through the Caucasus from Georgia to Russia. Alternative routes across the mountains include the Ossetian Military Road and the Transkam.
Route: The Georgian Military Road (ca. 212 kilometres long) runs between Tbilisi (Georgia) and Vladikavkaz (Russia) and follows the traditional route used by invaders and traders throughout the ages. From Vladikavkaz, the road stretches southwards up the valley of the Terek before passing through the Darial Gorge (which marks the border between Russia and Georgia). It then passes Mount Kazbek and Gergeti Trinity Church before heading south-west through the Georgian region of Khevi to the Jvari Pass, where it reaches its maximum altitude of 2,379 meters. Not long after the pass the road passes the Russia–Georgia Friendship Monument, a large concrete monument built in 1983 to commemorate relations between the two countries and the bicentennial of the Treaty of Georgievsk. The road then turns south-eastwards, following the Tetri Aragvi River through Mtiuleti down to the town of Pasanauri, before heading due south. It then passes below the walls of the medieval fortress of Ananuri before cutting across the wide floodplain of the Tetri Aragvi down to a point just north of Georgia's historic capital, Mtskheta, where it merges into Georgia's main East-West highway (the E60). In this guise, the Georgian Military Road technically continues along the right bank of the Kura (Mtkvari) River before reaching nearby Tbilisi.The 1914 edition of Baedeker's Russia describes the Georgian Military Road as 'one of the most beautiful mountain roads in the world', and mentions the fact that, as early as its date of publication, 'motor omnibuses of the Société française des transports automobiles du Caucase ply regularly from April 15 to Oct. 15th, the journey in 10 hrs.'The importance of the Georgian Military Road as a through route was diminished in recent years, primarily due to delays at the border crossing between Russia and Georgia, natural disasters such as landslides, and the outright closure of the border crossing by Russia in 2006.Since 2013, however, when Russia finally agreed to re-open its side of the border as a result of Armenian demands, the road has once again become an important transport artery, mainly for trailer lorries linking Armenia and Russia.Various restrictions, however, remained (and still remain) in place, particularly for Georgian citizens, but by 2013 a representative of the Russian side of the border could tell the Interfax news agency that around 3 million people had passed through the Kazbegi-Verkhni Lars customs checkpoint.Currently (2015), the Georgian end of the Road is frequently clogged with lorries, apparently due to the length of time needed for vehicles transiting Georgia to be admitted into Russia.Wikipedia
This is Georgia
Sitting at the historic crossroads of Europe and Asia, and overlooked by mighty Caucasus Mountains, the country of Georgia is situated in the Southern Caucasus region of Eastern Europe where it shares borders with Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey.The terrain of Georgia is largely mountainous with a wide variety of landscapes, ranging from the subtropical Black Sea shores to the ice and snow of the crest line of the Caucasus Mountains, from an area of semi-desert with arid, yellow meadows with numerous cave-cities to the fertile plains of Eastern Georgia where local people have been growing native grape varieties for over 8,000 years.
Archaeological excavations show that the territory of present-day Georgia was densely inhabited by proto-humans around 1.85 million years ago (which also marks the earliest human habitation in Europe).Palaeolthic sites along the Black Sea coast prove the presence of an indigenous people sometime between 100,000-50,000 BC. At that time the streams of Western Georgia contained small amounts of gold and gold-specked stone which had been eroded from the rocks of the mountains higher upstream and local people immersed sheepskins in the streams to trap gold sand creating a fleece rich in gold. This fascinating story of one of the world’s first gold mining method is reflected in famous Greek legend about the Golden Fleece and Argonauts voyage in the West Georgian state of gold-rich Colchis.
Apart from gold, grape-growing and wine-making played a crucial role in ancient Georgian society. Seeds of the world’s oldest cultivated grape varieties from about 8000 years ago and old ceramic clay jars (called kvevri) that have been unearthed here attest to this.
Due to its favorable geographic location between the Black and Caspian Seas, Georgia soon became an integral part of the Great Silk Road along which journeyed lots of travellers and traders on their way between China and Europe.
Consolidation of the small Georgian states up to present-day borders took place in the 3rd century BC when the capital of the united country became Mtskheta (from the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD)
Christianity started to spread into Georgia from the 1st century AD and was declared the state religion in 326AD.Two centuries later the Georgian royal throne was moved to Tbilisi, a new capital of the country from the 5th century AD to the present day.
After theoccupation of the land by the Arabs, from the 7thto the 10th century ,Georgian kings fought for the unification and consolidation of all the Georgian lands into one state which brought about a political, economic and cultural revival, known as the Georgian Renaissance. During this time the borders of Georgian Kingdom expanded from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea when the country reached the apex of its political and military might.
However, Georgian Renaissance did not last long. The Mongols,who repeatedly swept down from the steppes of Central Asia, undertook incursions into Georgian lands causing both the fragmentation of the kingdom and its gradual decline due to the heavy burden of taxation levied upon it.
The economic and political decline of Georgia as a result of these constant Mongol invasions led to the emergence of several independent Georgian kingdoms which fought amongst themselves as well as fighting off repeated invasions from the Ottoman and Persian Empires.
In 1783, Georgia and Russia signed the treaty of Georgievsk which made East Georgia a protectorate of Russian Empire. In 1801 the Russian Tsar abolished the East Georgian kingdom, following which the remaining Georgian kingdoms and principalities were occupied by the Russian army and annexed to Russia.
Following the Revolutions in February and October 1917 in Russia, the National Council of Georgia declared Georgian independence in 1918. Georgian statehood which had been lost 117 years earlier was restored. But sadly after only three years, the Russian Bolshevik Red Army, having occupied the neighbouring states of Armenia and Azerbaijan, also invaded Georgia in 1921 and declared the Soviet Republic of Georgia which lasted until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Restoration and economic development of Georgia after the severe civil war and regional conflicts started after the 2003 Rose Revolution.
This short introductory video clip shows some highlights of the country of Georgia,its unique landscapes and historic sites.
