Traveling to the Caucasus mountains has been in my mind for a while.
I missed it on my way to Africa in 2011 because of a late start from France, and cold and snowy conditions when i arrived in Turkey in October 2011. Since then, i have been waiting for the chance to go there. 4 years later, i made it possible.
Time has been set to 2015 autumn, which i think is a good season to visit the area, and, i hope, not as touristic as late spring or summer.
The mean of transport will be new : the mountainous tracks of Caucasus will be the test ride for me and my newly acquired land cruiser. (you can see it here)
For the last years, most travelers had to limit their visit of the area to the 3 countries of the southern side of the Caucasus, from west to east : Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, because of the tourist-proof border of Russia and the north Caucasus. But recently, some have reported the opening to all nationals of the border between Georgia and Russia first, and between Azerbaijan to Russia too.
The planned route was the following :
For political and practical reasons, we eventually followed that route:

After having stayed in France for a couple of months, I was happy to hear about motorcycle travel again (actually the last call dated only from december in Madagascar..). One of my friend is starting the long journey to central asia with his Ural motorbike and sidecar, and accepting me as his roadmate for the beginning of his trip. I would stay with him up to Ancona (middle of Italy, on the Adriatic coast) where he will take a ferry to Grece. From there, I will continue to head south to Sicily. Having started at different places, different time, we met up at midday, near Genova. Soon after, we pulled of the highway to ride across Cinque terre park, a nice mountain range along the sea.
