Cleaned and packed. Took lots of rubbish to a nearby bin.
11:15 and we are on the footpath with our bags. We see a car that dropped a passenger. Turns out not to be a taxi but we negotiate 30GEL. Some confusion about the destination. When we arrived, no signs anouncing the restaurant. I noted that the blue dot coincided with the red tear drop and assured the driver we were happy. Gave him 40GEL.
Although early at 11:40 for the 1 pm start, we were not the first. I enquired to Marcus why we were asked to be there by 12 and he just said to be sure.
So many courses and so much food. Two sets of speeches between courses. Judy kicked it off with a highly animated performance.
My Father of the groom speech was in the second set.
Lunch wrapped up with fruit platters, bowls of strawberries and whipped cream and bowls of cherry ice cream and chocolate ice cream.
A 1km walk to the bus.
Now on the bus. After 2.5 hrs we had a toilet stop. Huge queue so I found a bush and established later Phoebe did likewise.
A lovely view of a huge hydro lake.
A small dramatic diversion as we neared the hotel. The night was dark and the road crap. I think the driver was lost although google maps showed him on point. He decided to turn around. Not a comforting action when you are on a very steep poorly maintained road with no light. He also did not have a reversing camera. At one stage there was a bang and crunch and the bus was leaning too far to the right to be comfortable. Was worried we might roll over. The driver got out and back in and un did his multi point turn and then decided to reverse back. This was equally scary and worrying but eventually we made it although all the while google maps showing us getting further off course.
Suddenly the other driver appeared in our bus and essentially we now had a pilot
