Those roads reminded me of back home. When you eat the bread heard the crunch. So good. Good job Trudy.
What an incredible adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Living vicariously through your videos is an amazing way to escape the pandemic. Best wishes from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an AWESOME tour! THANK YOU for taking us with you _ so much cool famuly history there!

Fascinating 🤨
You are wonderful ambassadors for peace between nations....starting one relationship at a time.....soooo inspiring!
Thanks Lynn - we love meeting people 🌺 and having the opportunity to visit their homes and see their real lives is awesome !! M xx
Blimey Marianne brilliant driving, you’re both extremely brave ✨👌 Much love ❤️ xxx

You guys are so amazing driving these crazy roads and staying so calm 👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you, brilliant experience, even from my living room, well done.
Many thanks! Woo hoo
Cows on the road lol it’s nuts
Ha Ha - yep is was fun !! LOL
Я хоть и россиянин, но уважаю Грузию и её население.
Wonderful
всего тебе найлучшего! привет из Грузии!
@@MrDididevi Спасибо и Вам того же!
Omg what if it HAD rained. That little skinny bit of road you crossed was soooooo scary! But the bread was worth it.
Ha Ha ... we avoid what ifs ... and close our eyes at the skinny bits LOL !! xx
beautifull time
The families would shelter in there during a war....the bottom ladder would be pulled up and one stayed in there.
Small doors, windows and shooting holes so the enemy could not burst in easily.
Wow - such history !
THANKS Chris for the history of the village! ☺
Well done on that drive! Crazy stuff!
Thanks!
Safety first guys. Roads looks very dangerous.
Your videos makes me believe every time that the heaven is actually on earth.
Great video !! Should we risk it drive Mestia to Ushguli with non 4x4 car?
Did you see our other video driving up - here's the link ua-cam.com/video/MouQzcNxWQw/v-deo.html We did it but it was a challenge
I'm so glad you all got back to Mestia in one piece. Delicious bread and Camembert, my mouth was watering.
Great video , lovely mountain ⛰ scenery. Lovely roads , can't beat a challenge 👌😎😀
So true!
Lovely video, pleased you got back safely. What a lovely guy x
That's the joy of travelling.. you meet wonderful people everywhere..
А вообще, жду вас в своём родном городе Орёл. Россия. Приезжайте пожалуйста!
Maybe one day !! Thank you for subscribing ... 🌺
Hi,
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Do you have an address or a link from this nice hotel you mentioned?
We gonna visit Georgia this summer.
Thanks 👋☺️
Thank you your vlogs are very interesting - from the roads you travel to the places you visit and the people you meet. What incredible experiences you share with us. Travel safely - From Brisbane Australia.
Glad you like them Veronica 🌸
Вы - молодцы! Так держать!
Thank you so much !!
"Just look at that bit of road there." *WHAT* road??!! It's gone!! 😱😱 Chris' turn to peer over the edge on the way down, it's only fair. 😉 The village set a new measure for rustic charm, though, so lovely.
The sight of the bread and Camembert really set my mouth watering! So simple, so perfect. 🤤
❤❤😎👍xx
YES !! I knew you would be happy with this driving !! and what road indeed ?! LOL
The simple things certainly seem to be bringing us more and more joy ... and fresh bread and cheese ..... mmmmmmm 😉🌸. Love to the P family xx
The inner-scooby-doo enthusiast in me says that if you were to pull a lamp/wood plank a secret passage would open up in those towers! 😂Looks like such a cool place to explore, almost out of a movie set!
Oh yes !! I got that feeling too
Thank you so much for your interest and all sharings and all efforts,
So nice of you
WOW,what a journey in this Georgian town. I couldn’t help but seeing the fear on your faces and the lack of laughter and commentary whilst on that dreaded road. You are both very brave.
A bit of an ordeal, however,in the end the experience would’ve been worthwhile.
Thank you again for being part of your adventures.
Glad you enjoyed it! - yes it was a fabulous adventure !
Marieann you are an amazing …well done you for driving on those roads👏👏👏👍👍
Thanks Jeanette
Marianne the amazing!!!! Hope Trudy is going to get some rest after this roller coaster ride. Really like your vlogs. Don't miss out on Vardzia and Borjomi while ur in Georgia. Love & respect from Bangladesh
Thanks for the tip 🌸
It’s lovely how friendly the people are in Georgia. It was a country I hadn’t thought of visiting but it now seems a place that we should go….. thanks again for your videos with lots of great information and content 👍
Thanks - Yep the world is full of lovely people and fabulous vistas for sure xx
Incredible human experience,
Such a great tour thank you. We have been on similar roads in Nepal, real nerve jangling. The views from the top village were incredible, good idea to leave before the rain though. Really fascinating to see how the locals lived, such a long unbroken lineage his sense of belonging must be immense, lovely gents too. Thanks again, safe travels
Yes ... it was incredible and the ancestry and belonging was mind blowing !!
Amazing driving!! I wouldn't take my little car there let alone a camper van, well done and spectacular camera work too.
Thanks Kevin
Phew ,and breath.Loved the museum and the guys showing you around......and the wine.😁
Woo Hoo xx
What wonderful, kind people you meet on your travels x
Absolutely xx
Thank you for sharing your adventure ❤️
Thank you
Excellent, as usual :-)
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for the lovely interesting video.
I am glad to see you are enjoying your tour there.
🥰🍀🌸🦋⚘
Yes, thank you
Absolutely Wonderful 👍. Brilliant Video Guys. Thanks So Much for another Amazing Adventure ☘🥰💐.
Delicious bread😋 Georgia have really delicious wines 👋🤚
Oh yes !! We tried them to make sure !!
🌷🙏🌷
I was just thinking about how much I wanted to live in Mestia until you mentioned -30C....which meant absolutely nothing until I did the online converter, and it's -22F. And now I'm thinking that I'd rather be in the tropics! For sheer beauty, though, Georgia is hard to beat!
Ha Ha ... Maybe a summer house in Mestia and a somewhere else for the winter ??
@@TREADtheglobe Oh, I like the thought of that!! Now you're talking!!!!!
My son and his girlfriend were cycling round the world until April 2020, across Europe,, Georgia and most of the ‘ stans, followed by South east Asia, Australia, New Zealand. and across to South America . Part way up Argentina they ground to a halt, but said that while countries extended hospitality beyond what you might expect in the UK, that Georgia was the best, friendliest and most hospitable of all!
Wow !! You must be so proud !! Well done them !! We certainly had a fab time and always seem to meet the most wonderful people indeed !! 🌺🚐💜
Brilliant as always ❤️❤️🙏🙏👍👍🤩🤩👌👌👏👏
❤️👍❤️👍
Karadenizin bütün kıyı ülkeleri çok güzel doğaya sahip, güzel bir vlog olmuş, tekrar süper bir sürücü olduğu için, dağları taşları aştığı için Marianne'yi kutluyorum.👋👋👋👋
Thank you !
Mini adventure in the mountain in the bag - thumbs up to the driver well done - I know I would be screaming like a good one lol - loved that tower tour so interesting thanks for sharing that - hot bread and cheese
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting house ,glad you got back down that road safely
It was a fab experience !!
OMG!!! I thought you would be going down the other side rather than having to back the way you came!
Marianne is definitely the MOST AMAZING driver. You deserve a GOLD MEDAL 🥇
What a wonderful adventure to look back on in days and years to come. We still talk about scary adventures we had in Turkey, ours were nothing compared with yours that’s for sure😀
Another great Video, just loving following you.
Stay Safe.
🏴🏴🏴❤️
Oh Patricia .. one road in and one road out ... the same road !! LOL - I will be home to get my medal at the end of the trip !! woo hoo xx
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for doing all the hard work and driving up there, I thought that village was spectacular and not often you get to see them original these days. Thanks for going to Georgia we were suppose to tour there last year catching the Touristic train from Turkey across and then Travelling around. Only got as far as Istanbul before we had to pull plug and fly home to Aussie due to COVID and world lockdown, so Georgia on our hit list still for when we can fly. We would have been leaving Turkey as you were arriving.
Oh ... you will love it and it is certainly worth waiting for - Best wishes and happy travels - M xx
That low doorway at the tower…useful if you want to keep a low profile when entering and exiting 😆
Yep .... I saw what you did there !! LOL
What a place to visit. Very remote indeed.
You are doing fantastic job great
Thank you so much 😀
👍👋🏻
Wow guys I'm so pleased you got back down that road safely thank you both use are are amazing I'm already excited to see your next video xx
Thanks Margaret xx
Abi yanınızdayım kars garında durmuşsunuz
Hi !!
looks so fun and interesting. Georgia is so green and lush! Enjoy!!
Enjoy your vlogs take care
Thanks Kay
Great video,Svaneti is awesome
Offering wine is a glimp of the fabuleus Georgian hospitaliy i had so much
But you are right about the weather,i can change quick,i had snow in Kazbegi when on tour in August. My friends there where in panic because of that. Road was flooded away,but we saved 2 tourist who where hitchiking and take them to Tbilisi with us. Hope next year i will be there again
Amazing how you drive on those roads. I would be hyperventilating 😂
Glad you got back down safely. That bread!😋 Very interesting seeing that tower.
Such a fab experience 🌺
Chris and Marianne, I really felt so dizzy when you were both driving through those narrow roads. Once again I so much appreciate Marrianne being a very skillful drivet.As a 45 year driver, I would not drive on those roads.Well done guys...
Glad you enjoyed it
I wouldn't go out on those roads if they paid me for it. I commed you. Have a lot of fun. May your smiling face never fade... 🇹🇷
Omg the roads or track should I say. Well done though. How amazing was that museum, so much amazing history. Thank you for sharing x
Glad you enjoyed it - it was definitely a test !!
Wow that bread looked good x
It was delish !!
Well done on doing that drive. And in a 2wd camper. Awesome. I like the way Chris says "we" made it :)
Thanks 👍 Woo Hoo
Good luck in Georgia...
Greetings from Istanbul

What more do you need in life than good bread and cheese?
And as a bonus, amazing people and places, this is bliss (minus the horrid roads, but at least I think it felt even more of an achievement to enjoy all of that)
One more from Canada, but may i suggest plz dont drive on such road again. Once again, one of the best vlogs. What a video of this tower. This is amazing and very beautiful place too😍
Thanks a lot💞
Thanks for the tips! But sometimes .... you just have to go where the road takes you ... and laugh about it afterwards LOL 🙌
There are hundreds of people who moved to Turkey and making vlogs but you are at number one, way ahead of others. 💞
Welcome to Georgia mountines and forest country Georgia is on of the oldest make wine 8000 year ago in region of Kacheti southi ests gerogia .
Fabulous !!
Thank you very very much for your response to us by adding the Arabic translation. Greetings to all of you and may the Lord protect you
Thank you too!
Oooo! Roads of Georgia are difficultly for european transport...
That was very harsh environment for Trudy. I'd like to know how many km your Trudy have done so far? Let us know when Trudy clocks down to 500,000km so you guys do celebrate...
Trudy is on 86,000 miles at the moment ... Woo hoo xx
@@TREADtheglobe I see... she is still a very young lady....
Vine is always ok but never taste the cha-cha in early morning! You could be drunk whole day :)
Another thoroughly enjoyable visit. Keep them coming, I so much look forward to every episode.
We'll wait another 15 years for the tarmac and visit the place when it's 'a thing' 😂😂😂😂
Really like to join wit you fir this world tour.and hope BBC should promote you to make more historical places which people of the earth are unaware of it.
Sir if theres any way to join ur journey do let me know.
10:22 omg i want to eat toooo 😁😁😁
my family is from the Turkish province of Rize. we like our neighbors in Georgia.🇬🇪🇹🇷
Carol you are some woman..Not in a million years..TG you both got through safely..☘
Ha Ha !! Who is Carol ...... ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously ,If a Turkish person says you must visit a certain place again ,Don't go !
@@precursors look where they advised them to travel to
@@precursors They still hate the British And Italian people(as do Montenegrons)
Well my dad was Turkish my mam was Italian, I was born British and we were always arguing
Oh Ian ... I grew up in an English / Scottish / French family and there was always arguing ... that does not mean they hate each other LOL ... just healthy competition !! Imagine Rugby season in my house !! I have rarely met a person that hated me ... but have learned that it says more about them than me ... and if they are capable of hate ... then we don't really associate with them and drive off in Trudy !! LOL xx stay safe and keep spreading the love ... Marianne xx 🌺😉👍
@@TREADtheglobe I do talk nonsense sometimes🤐
Marianne is amazing driver but please guys you can't trust Trudy on these type of roads... Stay safe ❤️
