Travels in Tusheti: The road to Pasma

This is an account of how Chris Wills and his family discovered Tusheti in Georgia and the great adventures he had with his family traveling around on horse back. Monday, 8 September 2008. The road to Pasma. The track from Dartlo. Is just that. A track but good enough for the obligatory 4x4 white Nivas. If you are wondering where was the back-up team with the bags and luxuries. Well I'm sorry, we only had what we could carry on our horse's. Although Goggi. On the trail to Pasma. This gentleman from Pasma.

This is an account of how Chris Wills and his family discovered Tusheti in Georgia and the great adventures he had with his family traveling around on horse back. Sunday, 7 September 2008.

I didn't feel fit enough and as things turned out I had my own adventures. The girls on what feels like the roof of the world. OK its not but hey, who can tell?
