Trip 14 - Caucasus
26 September to 27 October 2012
This was originally going to be a "countries that end in 'stan'"
trip, as I'd been itching to see some more of the former Soviet republics. But I
found myself briefly in Istanbul in the spring of 2012 and decided I wanted to
see more of Turkey, especially after hearing wonderful things about Cappadocia.
Then it was easy to go on to the non-"stan" former USSR republics of
Georgia and Armenia. And as one person I met pointed out, I got my
"stan" in the middle of "Istanbul," at least.
