After the early morning low cloud cleared, it was a stunning day, so we headed out to get some more photos, with a plan of going up to the glacier in the afternoon.
Before heading to the glacier I decided to run down to the airport, just to see if there was any chance of picking up a flight back to Tbilisi rather than the 3hr bus trip and 5hr train ride that we were planning tomorrow. And there was, but we needed to be there in 30minutes. There wasn't anything available for the next day but we could go on a waiting list just in case there was a cancellation.
I phoned Dermot and we decided we'd give it a go packing up really quickly and getting back down there. I found a taxi to take me back to our hostel, grab Dermot, plus my stuff and take us back to the airport. Then we had to wait around for another hour!
A really memorable, spectacular flight for only AUD45 each, which included a 1hr minibus trip from the Vanilla Airways airstrip into the centre of Tbilisi.

| Not sure which glacier |

| A pass only accesible by bike I think. We met some Germans who were heading this way |
