Welcome to Tabibito's South Caucasus Travelogue!

Summer 2002, and it was about time for another tour: My beloved companion opted for Turkey, but since I'd been there before, we decided to not just travel Turkey but also places beyond. So we took the plane to Istanbul and traveled by bus and train and more towards Georgia and Armenia. See the map below for the route. Enjoy the following travelogue and don't hesitate to contact me when there's a mistake. If you cannot see the menu on the left and on the top, click the following link: →frame version.
