13/9/19 Travel to Mestia

The train was at 7.10am which meant leaving the hotel at 6.45, and breakfast didn't start until 7, so the hotel was kind enought to pack some for us.

The train was full and left perfectly on time.  Clean, a bit cramped but otherwise fine except for it being a 5 hour trip to Zugdidi!!

From Zugdidi straight onto a Marshrutka for the 3 hour trip to Mestia.  And the bus was kind enough to stop and left everyone take a picture.  Scary steep windy road with us travelling in a rickety old minibus at up to 90kph.

Finally got to Mestia.  Our luck - I'd booked a hostel (most accom is in hostels) and it was right at the top of the village up a very steep cobbled street/lane.  Only $40 per night but clean and comfortable.
