Touring in Georgia (and Armenia maybe?)

Had some lovely moments and can imagine the place will change pretty rapidly as the budget airlines start increasing their frequency (although the 4-5 hour flight will no doubt put some off).

A lot to be said for independent travel there either by cycling or hiking where you can have more meaningful interactions with locals and the landscape and would definitely use rail for some of the stretches if you're going from Tbilisi to the Svaneti region (would rather forget the 40km+ section I cycled along motorway under summer sun).
