66. Stage 'Tbilisi, Georgia'

After I had reassembled everything and the machine was running, I felt a strong desire to quickly head to Georgia. In case any technical issue arose again, I did not want to be subject to the tight time constraints of a transit visa. My impression of Grozny, as a tourist, was that of an entirely normal city. Hard to distinguish from cities in Kazakhstan or any other Central Asian country. Men often sport long beards, while women seem perfectly dressed everywhere and always. Departures and arrivals were absolutely problem-free. There were some traffic jams, but as a motorcyclist, they hardly affected me. Unfortunately, the motorcycle shop in Tbilisi couldn't help me at first. A power outage had knocked out all computer systems. I was told to come back tomorrow. During dinner, I finally managed to book my hostel, which meant that the day was largely checked off. Tomorrow, I will try my luck with the air filter again and then the day after tomorrow, I will travel to Lake Sevan in Armenia. Benjamin has announced he will be in Tbilisi tomorrow. Let's see if we can manage to meet before my departure.
