My second day in Georgia was 4WDing in the Vashlovani Nature Reserve, out towards Azerbaijan. We didn't cross over into Azerbaijan, and there was no intent to, but one of the warnings was that if we got cut off by fire in the Reserve then we might have to exit out via Azerbaijan, so take your passport with you!

(Curious question: on most of the groups for women travelling solo, there's all manner of warnings about travelling with your passport and how it's unwise to do so, but where do you keep it then... It seems to be a peculiarly American thing for women in the 50+ age range, especially those who aren't accustomed to travelling internationally, though, so I'm particularly curious if this is common among people I know.)

As I've said before, the women on this tour were the 'we're different and we're good with that' sort of women. Which made for excellent travelling companions.
