Description
Crossing the border from Turkey, we arrived at Georgia’s Black Sea Coastline in furious rain. A constant flow of water and sweat dripped from helmet to my face. Each time I looked up to wipe it away, I noticed the towering buildings on the horizon growing closer.
A fast city quickly came to greet us, awash with speeding cars that soaked us with gritty water and ragged dogs which liked the look of our calves. Arriving in Batumi was a moment of trepidation – unsure of a new country, in a bewildered state of mud and rain, shying away from the buzz of city life, its large neon signs shining through the downpour.
Whilst we have always known our journey would take us to India, there have been few definite waypoints along the way. That is, besides Georgia. It had become incredibly significant on our map. As we rode across Europe, at times we’d lose sight of where we were going. At these moments, we’d remind each other, ”we’re going east, towards Georgia”.
After a year and a half of constant movement, reaching our destination and knowing that movement was stopping… it felt baffling. This was roughly the halfway point to India. A resting spot. But also our opportunity to tell of the stories this journey had brought us.
Slowly, the rain dissipated, making way for a burnt-apricot sun to poke through the clouds. We perched on the pebble beach alongside the city’s colony of stray dogs, watching the day come to a close. With the auburn sky aflame, a fishing boat almost chasing the last rays and seabirds hunting in its wake, the trepidation began to fade.
