which is 5 bus-hours from here. about 4 car-hours.

I have two massive ass bags (as I rather foolishly assumed my employer dropped us off in the middle of nowhere, so would pick us up. HA) and a backpack full of electronics.

I will also have a massive pile of textbooks to return to my employer. because I can't just leave them at my school for the next volunteer. nope. gotta return them. (that's 12 books and 4 CDs.

turns out my employer's office is in the where-the-fuck-is-that end of Tbilisi.

Also turns out they want them returned on a weekday 'cause nobody'd be in the office otherwise (they are considering saturday, though).

bit of a bugger, as I need to work. Y'know. For THEM on Friday, so can't go then.

so, in recap, I need to get on one of my rickety little village-to-kutaisi mini-buses (ah, marshutkas...), and pray there's enough room for all my crap. Throw money at the driver to make it happen.

then get all said crap on a bus to tbilisi. Again, throwing money at a driver to make it happen.

then get all said crap into a taxi, try and get across this weird little address we were given, get the guy to wait, get him to then take me to the city, in a language I don't know all those words in.

loiter in the city. Get to the airport.

...I am sure this need not be this hard.

bear in mind another reason I'm not leaving on Friday is that supra will be happening. for me. which means. I might also be doing all this whilst blind hungover.

cracks knuckles Georgia logistics head on.
