2016 Azerbaijan, Georgia and other places

Started leg 1 via Belarus and Russia; quick transportation with a 2 day stop for a full and professional car service in Volgograd (as usual) whereafter the “real” trip commenced with Kalmuckia, Dagestan and a problem free border cross into Azerbaijan.  Azerbaijan countryside as tidy, clean and safe as everywhere – a garden country in […]
