Love it! It’s great when the local people are kind and friendly. Great tip for having an extra long extension cord. We have one for our hotel rooms for when there is only on socket! The monastery was beautiful. Love all the driving and the music was perfect! Thanks for Taking us along!
Long time viewer, first time commentator. Great job Chris on the drone footage, it adds so much to your already informative and entertaining show. Thanks for sharing and keep treading on!
Good Morning from Colorado (USA). Such lovely footage. Georgia is such an interesting and beautiful country, and you all did a wonderful job capturing it. I loved the views from the drone.
Love that type of breakfast with wine and hard liquor 😂😂😂 getting vitamins early in the morning Cool monastery, kinda reminded me of Meteora but obviously smaller.
I am not religious and I am an animal lover. Everyone who has a conscience and loves nature should respect and not harm the living things around them. Thank you for your sensitivity 🤘😍💚
We spent two months in Georgia this summer and while there are lots of dogs, we never saw any starving ones. Hungry, but not starving. In fact, most of them looked pretty well fed and even the poorest people gave them food. The government has apparently been working on containing the surplus of dogs in the country for years but, from what we saw, people and dogs seem to co-exist pretty well.
Hi Yes we saw lots of dogs in lots of different states .... lots in a good way, generally in cities and towns, but once you got out to the more rural areas and on the side of the long roads .... it was tragic - We chose not to show examples of this is not something our channel does, and it is not helpful either - but we have spoken to a few people since this video and we are understanding the situation a bit better now. Neutering and spaying is the only way to get this under control and with only 2 animal shelters doing their bit, but like everything it comes down to money and priorities - We are glad you enjoyed Georgia too 👍🚐💜
I was researching the dog problem in Georgia, seems there has been a proposal for an "Organic Law for the Protection of Pets, Population Control and Social Security" which was initiated by Parliament but has been passed over for 5 years due to lack of funds. What has compounded the problem is COVID and low number of tourists who would feed dogs as they traveled through the country. People in Georgia were abandoning their dogs for fear of transmission of COVID to the families. I have reached out to a dog activist to see if he might help or already knows of this problem. Loved the video today, thank you for sharing with us, take care!
The sad thing is that here in the UK there has been a shortage of dogs to such an extent that they are being stolen. Here in Suffolk 2 months or so ago the police found 80 stolen dogs in one place and have since been trying to find their owners. The rescue centres are however worried that once the pandemic is really over there will be a glut of unwanted dogs. Hopefully not.
I'm enjoying following your further adventures in Georgia. Unfortunately, history has taught us that pious people are not necessarily kind people, and the Georgians' lack of regard for their dogs is a fitting example of this. Hopefully your poignant, heart-wrenching remarks don't fall on deaf ears there.
In Georgia, all dogs are vaccinated and sterilized, everyone has a nickname on their ear, in Tbilisi and Batumi there is free food for dogs, there is no such humane treatment of dogs anywhere in neighboring countries, in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia and Turkey there is no such things.
@@Gillby47 There are a lot of cats in Istanbul and thats why, we do not have cats in Georgia, we have dogs and we keep a record of these dogs. And by the way, Georgia is religious, because it has always been surrounded by large Islamic empires, but still managed to defend its faith, today there is neither the Ottoman Empire nor the Persian Empire, they have disappeared, but Georgia exists.
The starving dogs are there because they are notkilled like in most countries. The reason you don't see starving dogs in Copenhagen is because stray dogs are killed very quickly and efficiently over there. Before the pandemic the starving stray animals weren't so starving; but the absence of people on the streets for a year has devestated the stray population as people were the ones feeding and watering them.
Orange Fanta, wine, and grappa -- three drinks not normally imbibed for breakfast! 😆 Have a sip to be polite, and give the rest to your copilot. 😉😉 Kayskhi Pillar is fascinating! How anyone got up there, let alone constructed buildings, is amazing! ❤❤😎👍xx
LOL !! Ha ha - I am incredibly good at saying no !! LOL (ask the kids !!) and as an ex landlady to a pub in the UK ... I literally hate HATE drink driving and believe in zero tolerance !! another good reason to have a van ... you can party and sleep where you drink LOL !! M xx
You mentioned a cow eating grass on the central reservation…must have been a dinner reservation. As for the limestone pillar, one could write a column on that 😆
I am a georgian and I've heard that a cow once ate grass in the city and the owner was fined. LOL!!! Watch out for migrating cows! LOL!! I hope this made you laugh. Best regards
The column you visited in Georgia reminds me of the ones like it in Greece, The monks wouldn't allow women to visit. But my father , brother and I got to go up . I think this one had stairs to the top.
Chacha is not wodka,more resemble to rakia,grappa and so. Think you had home made one. Can go from 40% to even 70% alcohol. Gives you dragon breath in the morning and strenght of 10 man. And even been 4 times to SARKATHVELO, Georgia original name, i see new things,find new places. Incredible country,
Hey Nathan - would you ask why Marianne doesn't drive if I did all the driving LOL ! Actually she loves driving and is a very confident calm driver. I do all the filming and editing so Marianne is happy to drive. I can and do drive
Hi Lily we are actually back and heading to the opening of the turtle centre !! but we have some more videos of Georgia to show - the videos take time to edit (but the newsletter is up to date !) M xx
Bora Bora has an enormous number of starving dogs too - a shocking number. If there is no compassion, then one would think that $$ would do the trick: if you want tourism, you had better spay/neuter, and feed the starving dogs (don't just kill them). God is well-aware of the suffering of even a sparrow.... get it together, Christians.
Theres alot of starving dogs because theres alot of poor people in Georgia! They can hardly find food for them selves.. i feel sorry for the animals on the streets.. But if you think about it they are free to run around! There not tied up on a chain somewhere.. atleast there free on the streets
Absolutely 100% agreed - it is not the people ... the government neutering programs are the only way to get this under control ... the animals can't do it on their own and we know there are only 2 centres in Georgia for animal shelter .... 😢
In Turkey, for example, you have passed hundreds of historical ruins of Hittite in Çorum, Rome in Samsun, now you are lingering in the greenery in Georgia.
Yes we love to share lots of different vistas and after 15 months filming and promoting the beauty of Turkey we thought we would share some of our favourite places in Georgia !! Enjoy 🌺👍
Oh thank you that is wonderful ... we have good news ..... there are about 4 van / travel youtubers that we are talking to that are coming to make more videos !! woo hoo - we are so happy that our videos are promoting and encouraging van life / travel to Turkey !! M xx
Vodka for breakfast? Are you sure that you are not in Latvia? My 92 year old uncle in Latvia has about 10 acres of sea buck thorn plants(Smilserkski in Latvian) that produce a cranberry like fruit that has many uses, including the manufacture of schnapps.
You have noticed correct Chris about starving animals. Soviet rejim have destroyed all religions in these countries, and know it is become like decoration.
I warned you before that be careful about cha-cha. Some of them contains seventy percent alcohol :) This is no problem for Georgian but not for normal people :) Drinking wine or cha-cha in the morning at the breakfest could be normal in Georgia but they usually prefer Beer :)))) I hope you could be survived :) Do you believe some locals are producing this cha-cha by high quality HONEY!!! Best one. Georgians well know and experience regarding good alcohol. Have a nice journey. (don't forget to buy Khvanchkara bottlesssss)
Ilia Chavchavadze was a famous Georgian writer and public figure, he wrote the poem ,,Gandegili'' - Ruined. Recommend that you read You can look at all of this with a different eyes Not a big deal☺☺☺
No we are in the East of Turkey 👍 Our travels are realtime on the newsletter - as it takes time to edit the videos and we have been travelling super fast to attend the opening of the Turtle centre
Georgia,great country to visit. But shame on people who don’t feed their animals. Dogs and cats are friends of humans and are entirely dependent on humans.
So it is not really a population problem - it has to be a government programme to tackle breeding / neutering and spaying is the only way to handle and cope with the situation. We hope that the message is spread and that the 2 animal shelters and animal programs that we have heard about in Georgia get the support they need / and the government step in to support the local districts ...... Marianne xx
Another fantastic journey with you both, loved it. The Column was absolutely amazing. There used to lots of starving dogs and cats in Dalyan when we lived there. Captain June set up a programme to deal with then which definitely helped. Safe onward travels 🏴🏴🏴❤️
Hi guys , great video ,, i see that you go back to turkey before going to Russia , Is that because of the visa ? I am from the uk and hope to ride a motorbike across Russia , can i get the business Russian visa In Georgia ? If not turkey ? Thanks Stefano
Hi Stefano - yep the borders to Russia are closed to foreign vehicles and the weather window to Siberia is also closing .... so we will have to wait ... like everyone else 🙄🤔. For a visa it depends how long you need on your visa for 30 days you can get it in Georgia - but if you need 90 days (this is what we need as we are driving the whole length !!) we need to get it either in the UK or as Turkish residents we can get it here. - Marianne
Hey! I recommend that you do not use google maps in Russia, the service is very poor and inaccurate. In Russia, it is better to use 2gis within the city, and Yandex maps between cities 😉

Heartbreaking to hear this situation with their animals in Georgia. No animals deserve this.
We hope that there is a government program for neutering and spaying put in place !!
Another wonderful video. Thank you for sharing and the views are beautiful. We just love traveling with you and please stay safe. ❤🙏
Thank you so much!
