Tblisi

sunny 13 °C
View Route Olympia - China on Lent's travel map.

What a reception: the vice mayor of the Georgian capital and the combined ambassadors of Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands together with numerous journalists awaiting us in the Town Hall of Tblisi! Lonely me: Finland doesn`t have an ambassador to Georgia (the Dutch diplomat told me; I really wouldn`t have known...) So instead of educated small-talk more time for me to indulge in the buffet with even more delicacies than during yesterday`s dinner hosted by the Georgian bicycle federation.
This is how nationalities are currently represented in our group:
Poland 6
Lithuania 4
Greece 2
Netherlands 1
Italy 1
Germany 1 (no German diplomat either present at the reception)
Finland 1

Please ignore the elevation data, because again I had to `repair` some missing parts by hand.

No, kyllä te toden totta olette nuo vastaanotot ansainneetkin. Ei sitä ihan joka poika polje satoja ja taas satoja kilometrejä noin vaihtelevissa olosuhteissa...

I was hoping for an update once you reached Tiblisi. Great to know that all is going well. John

onnittelut jo tähänastisesta taipaleestasi! Oletko seurannut Kiinan ihmisoikeusloukkauksista noussutta kohua? ei ole ihme, jos kisoja tai ainankin avajaisia boikotoidaan laajemminkin. T. Elja

Stick at it. No easy European travelling from now on.
