Stunning cathedral and the artwork on the ceiling 👌👌 - how Marianne stays so calm with the crazy drivers is beyond me! Glad you booked the apartment so you had a well earned rest.
OMG. Sweaty palms at that monument!!!😳 How you manage to film and stay safe astonishes me! 😲 Tbh Turkey has only gone on my wish list since I've been following you. So thank you. Georgia looks fab... although a bit scary!
Loving your travels around Georgia. Your stay at the accommodation could not have come at a better time, with your sleepless night the evening before 😳 xx
They can still get fibed for the illegal parking in the mail..they do have their mailing address after Chris gave up the crooks and gone into witness protection 😂😂
Man that sounds like a crazy day! Drama is great for views though! So glad that you guys are doing well! Great tip for the statement! I’m the same way about some food to get the energy up! Beautiful city and cAthedral. I did not know that was the birthplace of wine. What a fun tour! And Mexican style potato 🥔 wedges are right up our alley! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. Good memories of that cathedral, which was one of the sights visited when I was there. Wow, you went to the same cafe opposite the cathedral. Yes, their portions are generous, and as for their iced coffee, it leaves you feeling full of beans ☕️
Another fantastic video, Georgia looks amazing. I have followed your trip since Turkey and love the way you interact with the local people you meet. The kindness of strangers is a wonderful thing and you have experienced it a lot in Turkey and Georgia. Can't wait to see Lake Van again,I was there in 1983. Keep on having adventures. peace and love
great video guys, well done with all your driving Marianne! food looked amazing, you didn't tell us if you guys ate it all or not lol. wow that apartment is so cheap, which site do you use to book accommodation?
Magnificent cathedral, I love the relative simplicity of the interior. Delicious looking brunch and iced coffee, reminds me of the frappé culture in Greece.
This was an awesome video. The cathedral looked very old and like it had a few stories to tell. After watching your videos, I feel like I need to travel to Georgia (and Turkey). This is an absolutely fascinating culture. I can't believe how many cows are out on the highway. Great video!
Hello.Mtskheta was the ancient capital of Kartli, the East Georgian Kingdom from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, and was also the location where Christianity was proclaimed as the official religion of Georgia in 337. To date, it still remains the headquarters of the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church.
Hey I've just noticed no craowd with welcome to Georgia,, like you did in Turkey?? Should have done one with the cops whilst giving your statement..how is witness protection going 😂😂
Loved the video, thank you. Some beautiful sights again. That cathedral was just glorious but terribly sad if the legend about the architect is true. Your apartment looked lovely and a great price. Hope you had a decent sleep after all the drama! Looking forward to the next installment and your exploration of the town/that area 😘
Wow! what a wonderful Cathedral, it’s amazing. Loved the look of your delicious looking Lunch, right up my street. Hope you have a decent sleep. Safe onward travels, looking forward to the next, leg of the journey. 🏴🏴🏴❤️
@@TREADtheglobe didn't realise you were that far behind. Been catching up with your news letter and terrible weather at the turtle centre. Hope Chris on the mend too. Take care x
Thanks Linda - yes it is good to be signed up to the Newsletter as we have been travelling so fast that we are behind in the videos - but it gives us time to help with the prepping of the Centre for the opening and get the van ready for more adventure !! woo hoo xx
Beautiful fortress and churches. 🥰 OM... you were brave walking up those steps😧 Your blunch looked absolutely deelicious 😋 The cathedral is breath taking ! Your videos always cheer me up, thank you😊
always satisfied! old town/ village , and century old / heritage cathedral . Im learning fast of cultures far from mine , bottom line : lovely people & life too.
Hi,what my friends told me about the que of trucks is that at the border they sometimes closed it for trucks or Just let some pass a Day. Yes,Georgian traffic is awefull therefor a tip for some People,rent a driver if you not feeling comfortable, it isn't that expensive and they know secret places. For example, little bit further was Stephansminda,nice town, great view on the higgest Mountain of Georgia and a nice church/ abbey with amazing view. And the cathredral in Mtsekha is dedicated to Saint Nino Who is burried there
Hi Chris and mariann 👍 just us2 saying hi 👋 we sometime book in to b/b nice for change 😀 when travelling 😀 keep safe say well and safe travels 👋 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌
What a cathedral, that was awesome. You two definitely earned a couple of nights rest in an apartment after all your little adventures(police) and such. I see that Chesca, Ben and River are there in Turkey now as well, that will be a nice meet-up and visit. Saw the hailstorm on Instagram, I always worry about everyone's solar panels when I see that coming down. Hope the turtle sanctuary is okay. You all take care.
What an action-packed day that was! Being able to stretch out at the end in the BnB must have felt amazing. The fortress and cathedral were gorgeous -- but I hope the legend about the architect losing a hand isn't true. 😱😱 If it is, I hope he sent a second bill! I'm not sure I would be able to handle everyone's mental driving for very long! So stressful! 😬😬😬 Safe travels. ❤❤😎👍xx
Nice that the architect designs a cathedral and it goes down a storm with the King. Hows he rewarded he chops his bloody hand off! No, no says the architect a chest of gold is fine your majesty man, Oh no seriously it's so beautiful I don't want you to design another please allow me to chop off your hand........Lord only knows what would have happened to the poor architect if the King didn't like it!! A great vlog! Hope your ankle is better Chris! Sending the positive vibes express your way! PS, Are you going to link up with Overlanding Sophia back in Turkey? They've just arrived in Turkey.
Excellent video, the legend is a lie.😀 The architect of the church worked on many more projects after this church. The legend is associated with a 20th century writer. He wrote this story in his novel. In fact, such a sentence did not exist in Georgia at all. The legend became so popular that archaeologists dug up the architect's tomb and he had everything on the ground. The hand on the temple is a symbol of the union of architects of that period. It belonged to the architect of this temple.
In the USA commercial trucks can only drive for 14 hours without stopping for a rest period. You rarely see them drive at night and they are lined up on the side of the road in the morning. Maybe it is the same in Georgia.
You may have answered this already elsewhere but obviously Trudy hasn’t had an MOT for a while and won’t have VEL paid in the UK because she’s out of MOT. Do you just buy local insurance in the countries you visit?
Hi,to give you answer, most insurance does not cover Georgië except if you ask and pay extra. Most buy extra insurance for Georgia at the border. Not so expensive
Hi James - the MOT is only required for Insurance UK based (and the countries on that green card) But we buy it on the border once you go to a country that is not listed on your UK based insurance. I hope this helps - M 🌺
It is definitely a consideration - We always planned to keep going East so we had no need of an MOT as we would not be coming back into any EU or Green card country to drive home as we were going to ship home from USA or Canada - but if you are out of the UK for longer than 12 months and have no MOT to get insurance you can ship your vehicle from Istanbul to Bristol and then drive to an MOT centre to get it sorted - I hope this helps with your trip planning 🌸

Driving in Georgia is only a small foretaste of driving in Russia. You better think twice.
