Day 30.2: it's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight
2 Moose on the Loose Mongol Rally Still stranded travel YOLO
Miles: 184Countries: GeorgiaStops: -> TbilisiPlaylists: Vocal TranceWe drove on avoiding any signs for various tourism stuff to book it to Tbilisi. We found a hotel bar with wifi (but with no beer?!) and started sorting out visas. We began with Azerbaijan, only to realize it takes 3 days to process, whoops. So now we may be in Tbilisi for 3 days. Not the worst of places, but we really had a mindset of just going at this point, so we were a quite disappointed. We have heard that Tbilisi is one of the best capitals in the world and had...
Day 30.1: Dog goes "woof" Cat goes "meow" Bird goes "tweet" And mouse goes "squeak" Cow goes "moo"
2 Moose on the Loose Car Mongol Rally travel YOLO
Miles: 178Countries: GeorgiaStops: Lanchkhuti -> Zestaponi ->Playlists: Vocal Trance It's a little cheating since I'm starting with yesterday today. After our swim, we got on the road and drove until we got into Batumi downtown. We needed to find a place with wifi since Georgia is outside of the Roaming Zone for Rogers. Of course the only place we found for food was a Turkish restaurant, so we had a shawarma and Iskender kabob again ... I must say... I think it was better than the one we had IN turkey! SOOO good. We used their wifi and got Georgian...
Day 29: I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Miles: 185Countries: Turkey -> GeorgiaStops: Yesilyali -> Pazar -> Sarp border crossing -> Batumi -> LanchkhutiPlaylists: Epic Sax Solo Songs, epic 80's/90's playlistOur last morning in Turkey began in a gas station like most other days with weird looks from the attendants. Sketch town, and we weren't sure if we heard fireworks or gunshots the night before because all of a sudden there were a bunch of cops/ambulances/fire trucks that zoomed past us. Justin slept clutching his weapon of a choice, a flashlight. We decided on an early start despite being sleep deprived since we had to do laundry and...
Day 28: Ninety nine red balloons Floating in the summer sky
2 Moose on the Loose Car Mongol Rally travel Turkey YOLO
Miles: 480Countries: TurkeyStops: Cappadocia -> random pit stop -> YesilyaliPlaylists: Epic Guitar Solos, Motivational SongsIt was an early 4am morning and it was 100% worth it.The scenery... once we took off... the first thing we saw was a mountain all carved out with windows and doors and gardens; people still lived there! So hard to wrap your head around it, even when looking right at it! Our pilot brought us right down as if we were going to land in the garden and then lifted us way up high to see the entirety of Cappadocia. He did an impressive landing...
Day 27: I whip my hair back and forth
2 Moose on the Loose Car Making friends Mongol Rally RIP travel Travel prep Turkey YOLO
Miles: 140Countries: TurkeyStops: Konya-ish -> Cappadocia Playlists: Epic Songs (Spotify)We woke up early enough to be happy with our progress and potential start to the day only to somehow lose 2 hours sitting at the gas station restaurant drinking tea and coffee. We packed up the car and felt we had to mourn our last comrade that flew out the window yesterday. We built a cross out of sticks, put on the remaining moose head, and bid our farewells. It was a fun ride of wailing as per usual at the top of our lungs and as off key as...
