We stopped for a few hours in Gori, birthplace of Stalin. The truck dropped us off in the centre of town in order to take Nick to hospital (broken toe) after the compulsory photo of Stalin looking over the truck was taken. Being before 9am nothing was open but the gathering crowd outside the main square coffee shop was enough to make the owners open early. Coffee and cake later we headed to the Stalin museum where we had a tour. I think everyone was pretty disappointed with the museum as our English speaking guide basically regurgitated Wikipedia and pointed to a few photos. We did get to have a look around his parents house and his private railway carriage though.
Photos: enjoying the cake. The stalin museum.
