Finally, Kathleen comes to visit me in Tbilisi, and we start to turn the last horrendous six weeks' shitshow around. Here, we're celebrating our penultimate night in a place I started out liking but that I've ended up hating due to this last month and a half of horrible experiences.

The title says a lot this time around.

Back in Tbilisi, Georgia (the country, you idiot). Not for the regular explorative purposes, though, but because I've gone ahead and bought a damn metal bar here.

Yes, here we finally are in Hamburg. Not for long, though, because as I'm saying, I'm moving on down south pretty soon. (Actually, southeast, but stay tuned for an update on that.) And sorry about those cars in the background. We tried to stop them.

Yes, here we are again – this time on Lake Skadar in Montenegro, bordering up to Albania.

Yes, here's that lovely girl with the irresistible German accent again – this time with me in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Here I am by Castle Schönbrunn in warm, wealthy, wonderful Vienna. I'm actually on my way to Bratislava, but as it turns out, Bratislava's kinda hard to access directly. So I pitstopped in Vienna for a coupla nights. And, the enduring July heat and humidity notwithstanding, this place is breathtaking.
