challenges like this are really interesting so anyway check out his channel mark travels and comment and like and share his videos good morning guys welcome back to our Guinness world record attempt to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle we're here in the capital of georgia tiblissi and the sun has come out just for us to start a new epic riding day here in georgia so let me show you guys where we're heading today so we are here and today we're going to be heading on this road northwest out of the city to visit first the rock calf caved citadel of upliss siki and then hopefully if we'll have time we'll also be visiting the cave city of vards here somewhere around here yeah today's gonna be a cave city day we couldn't really decide which of the two cave cities to visit so we just decided to visit them both yeah we will try to squeeze them in today but it's actually really interesting because when i was researching it i found out that despite the fact that they seem like they're the same thing one of the cave cities is actually much much older than the other so one of the cave cities is from the middle ages which is the second one we're going to be visiting but the first one we're going to be visiting is actually all the way back from the iron age so two places that seem quite similar but have very very different histories google map says it will take us one and a half hours to reach our first point of interest it's already 12 o'clock so better hit the road let's go so before we head out of georgia's capital i just wanted to tell you guys a little bit about the city of tbilisi so the city has a population of 1.2 million people which is roughly a third of the population of the whole of georgia the whole city is situated on this river right here the kura river and that runs right through the center of the city now the name tbilisi comes from the old georgian and it means place of warmth now they're not 100 sure exactly what that warmth is referring to but it's either the fact that the climate here in tbilisi is actually a lot warmer than most other parts of georgia or it could also be as a result of the large amount of hot springs that are in the area but anyway tbilisi is a place of warmth and it's pretty warm today to be honest and due to its proximity to the ancient silk road the city has always been a central city for trade and that continues to this day because of its position right in between the east and the west yeah and it was actually super nice to spend a couple of days here in the city we were walking around we had like nice meals it was a really nice vibe the city has really nice historical places and the old town is just super beautiful so it's definitely a city which you should visit at least once in your life so we just stopped here on the side of the road just to drink something that's ollie what is really cool here i never saw anything like it like the cemeteries here in georgia they're different they have all a bench here like a bench and a table for i guess like family members to chill out with them you know it's so cool and it's not the only one like every single grave has like a little bit of a seating area i thought that's really nice cyclists the real tough guys the real deal yeah the real warriors nice look at this view yeah we're really getting into some massive open georgian landscapes look at that awesome we can see our first point of interest up ahead the up list sticky city caves just over there we just got to work out how to get to them just a really nice pleasant area here actually it's such beautiful countryside here we were already talking like i wonder how much properties are here would you be able to learn georgian language nobody who isn't georgian is able to learn georgian language i said georgian because in german it's georgian in german you say georgian yeah georgian yeah yeah you're just pronouncing every part of it you're like georgian georgian so we didn't see any signs of how to get here so we're just following google maps there's literally no sign here that's like oh the up list sticky caves are this way oh look at this abandoned building here yeah i think you have to park right there so this one natural pomegranate juice let's try it's not alcoholic no alcohol oh let me try let me try it is super okay okay he said he's gonna store our helmets and jackets here but we'll be stays here in georgian uh thank you madluba madluba madluba madluba madluba so we saved our leftovers from two days ago mashed potatoes wait wait wait wait mashed potatoes with aubergine so now we will have some bread with aubergine and mashed potatoes on the side as a little snack hi chesty it's gonna be beautiful add that with some beautiful pomegranate juice and you got yourself a nice little lunch break so the fella here just gave us some cheese but i would say this is like 99% salt it's so salty it's crazy now you have to eat this with bread it's dried milk with salt milk gets bad but not bad okay it's like sour sour yep okay sorry andre the fella here doesn't think that this tastes very good we're gonna leave bumblebee in the capable hands of zaha here and we're gonna go and check out some caves thank you madluba madluba thank you the entrance looks like it whoa crazy plays what an entrance there's bats in this cave oh here they are so we have made it up to the ancient rock cut city of obelisci or the lords fortress this site is one of the oldest urban areas in the caucuses there's evidence that this area has been inhabited since the third millennium bc so a very very old apartment block this is a city with a massive and rich history i think a renovation is needed i've lost lavi in the caves oh wow how much cooler it is in here and out there it's crazy so these caves were cut out of limestone which i think is the deposit at the bottom of a sea floor when lots of like organisms like shells and bones collect up over millions of years get compressed and then end up like this so cool you can see all the marks on the walls where they've been like chipping away at it and on the roof look at that the whole roof it's just been like chipped away by like i don't know probably a bone axe to begin with brilliant absolutely brilliant so the majority of these caves were actually cut during classical antiquity the city flourished as a major religious political and commercial center as part of the eastern kingdom of georgia called cartley and this continued through the hellenistic period and through the roman period we're just chilling in the cave as people have done for at least 5000 years right here 3000 bc people will probably just had a bit of fire going in the middle here just looking out at the view just chilling maybe eating some deer meat yeah but check out their view i mean this is like a five star view that is some prime iron age real estate i tell you not bad okay so there you go the ancient cave city of uplissiki yeah it was really mind-blowing actually absolutely incredible sight and that you can walk around literally everywhere and you know check out the rooms and sit in the cave so cool the fact that people have been there walking around doing their thing living there for such a long time thousands of years so cool so but now we are a little bit tight on time because the sunset here in georgia is actually quite early it's like at 7 15 and we are supposed to arrive at our next destination at 6 50 so that gives us like 25 minutes to appreciate our second ancient cave site which is called vardzia and the gps says it's going to take us two hours and 15 minutes but anyway we've got some beautiful mountain roads to ride here in georgia this afternoon so let's do it let's enjoy the ride hey and i have to try to remember madlober our first georgian word meaning thank you madlober wow this is such a busy road here and it's also not very nice because there are a lot of construction going on here i thought i got a nice scenic route for this evening but i don't yeah it looks like they're building a new big big massive highway through here which makes sense because there's a lot of traffic on this road so i think a highway would be pretty useful to be honest there's a lot of also really aggressive driving going on like people really going for the overtakes yeah pretty dangerous road actually tons of pottery careful careful yeah so it looks like we're finally going to turn off this road it's been busy full of traffic the whole time and i think it's here right yeah it's here lord oh my lord okay yep okay bloody hell yeah awesome yes finally off that road so it says our second cave city vardzia is coming up in 7.4 miles on this road this is more like it yeah that's a little bit nice i mean it's a bit bumpy but it's a little bit calmer that's for sure yeah oh he's got a rope i'll just drive over it okay so apparently vardzia is just up here on the left but we can't really find any roads going towards it so i really don't know if this is actually a place that we can visit yeah i really don't know i mean if you look at google maps it's just there's nothing around there's just like a dot in the middle of nothing we're basically riding past it it's supposed to be just here on the left but i can't see anything no i can't see anything and we as well we didn't see any signs for it yeah do you think we're like in the totally wrong place i have no idea maybe there's like two vardias maybe yeah that would be pretty crazy anyway we'll continue down this road for a little bit longer my map is showing that we're circling around vardia now so strange yeah i don't think that google maps is right the thing is is that in the pictures these cave rock houses are in like a are they in like more of a deserty type area i really don't know i really don't know okay so far at least these are just small and paved sections i think there might be two vardias and people are just logging it in the wrong place normally there must be like cliffs somewhere but i didn't see any cliffs as well doesn't seem like there is anything here okay let me just find a place to turn it around all right okay okay guys i just looked at the map here and it turns out that we're at the wrong vardia so here four and a half hours to the south is the actual cave city of vardia and where we are now is the tiny village of vardia that people have mistakenly tagged pictures of the other vardia so yeah basically we're just in a small village in the middle of nowhere very far away from an ancient cave city which is a bit ridiculous so that's about that for our second cave city visit so now we're going to head basically over to the nearest town and just see if we can find a place to eat and i find a place to sleep because we haven't booked anything so let's just head on over there and see what we can find hey yep yes we made it to the town before dark this town is called zestafoni and we found a place on air b&b we haven't booked it there's actually a hostel with the rooms for 20 pounds a night so we will head there now and check it out and see what they can offer for the night i mean i don't mind even a dorm room for tonight because it's it's quite late anyway yeah i mean it's gonna be dark in like 10 15 minutes yeah it's because we had a lazy morning with mark that's what it was a long and nice breakfast with two coffees yeah yeah it was nice that's all right i'm not mad at you mark for keeping us so long in the morning i'm not mad at you it's fine i really enjoyed it and anyway we saved time by actually being hours and hours away from the real vartia really really silly and it's so funny because yesterday when we were looking at it we were like oh the place has no reviews on google that's so strange because it's it should be a major tourist attraction but it doesn't have any reviews weird i'm gonna put two and two together but we didn't anyway the hostel is supposed to be just here on the left somewhere okay and yeah i think it's this place okay i will check it out okay so guys we just checked in here in this incredibly cool room okay first of all bumblebee is out here chain up we put the disc lock on we will put the cover on top so bumblebee will be hopefully safe there and then this here is the bathroom it's a little bit stinky but i think that will do for tonight and then this is our room look at that there's like a double bed here a single bed there then you have a step even up here into this little room and all of this space for 15 pounds which is absolutely amazing yeah i think it's normally a dorm room but there's just no one else here yeah that doesn't mean that somebody maybe comes a bit later maybe they come in perhaps maybe it's just going to be us here tonight and that's it from us today we hope you enjoyed the video if so please give us a thumbs up subscribe to
