Day 145: Sheki to Zaqatala

As we’ve ridden further up the valley towards Georgia things have steadily grown greener, and with the lush pastures, green rolling hills and the snow capped mountains, today’s ride was fabulous.

We’re now within a day’s ride of the Georgian border, so country number eight tomorrow.

We started with breakfast in a park

Bread, cheese and apples did the job quite nicely

Smoko involved lighting a fire and boiling up a huge pot of çay for these market gardeners

A little bit of drama with every sign for regions and towns

These kids on their way home from school wanted to mug for the camera
