Who doesn’t love travelling….Who doesn’t want to escape from the regular life and explore the nature, wander new places, chill out & relax. As a couple, you wouldn’t have issues visiting the places but once the kids enter our life, it all changes.
Yes, infants cry a lot, behave cranky, mess up things but still it would be a really good experience to travel with them. The country we travelled was Georgia and this trip was very special to us. Earlier we visited many places in & outside India, but what makes this one so special is we defied the opinion that it is difficult to travel with infants & confronted this idea from our parents, relatives & friends who opposed it and badly we wanted to take a break as we were completely exhausted taking care of the child since the birth.
So, I coined the term myself "Infantmoon" for this trip and the title I want to keep is “Infantmoon @ Georgia – who said travelling with infants is difficult :P ”. Dedicated to all the couples who travel with their infants. The two major factors that aided us in this successful trip are:
(a) It was summertime in Georgia, so from 5.30 am to 9 pm, sunlight was available, and all the sightseeing places are open. Leisurely & relaxed way we visited the places without hurrying with the infant child.
(b) We booked a customized package (thanks to Paata Lepsaia) which included a big vehicle (Toyota Noah), an exceptional tour guide cum driver. So, we didn’t have to worry about going from one place to another and took power naps in between & made sure the kid had proper rest during the day.
That’s it, I will cut the infant difficulties part right here and get back to the main plot, our Georgia country tour followed by the gorgeous & stunning pics of this country.
Georgia, a Eurasian country, a transcontinental country, is sandwiched between Russia, Turkey and Iran. Famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, high peak mountains and lush green landscapes, Georgia is the oldest winemaking country and home to one of the oldest languages in the world.
Adding few more information about the country in the readers' interest:
Best time to visit - Summers and Winters are very good & crowded, but you can enjoy as it is still an underrated country and not spoiled by mass tourism.
Currency - Gerogian Lari (1 GEL = 23 INR approx) but USD is widely accepted
Timezone - GMT+4, just 1.5 hours slower than Indian Time
Indian Restaurants - In the capital city, Tbilisi many Indian restaurants are available and nothing over the country side. But it is highly recommended to try Georgian food as it was super deliciously awesome.
Commuting in and around - metro train and buses are available but tour vehicles are easily available within the budget range, so just sit back and enjoy the views, let them take the hurdles.
Visa Requirements - Evisa is available, costs around 79$ and it will be a 30 days multiple entry stay.
The church is not visible from the ground zero as it is hovered in clouds. We could see it only after we reach the mountain peak.
There are many small and beautiful countries which go unnoticed as people usually have the craziness to cover popular ones. So, go out and cover such places where you can find beauty, nature, art, great food and peace too.
