From Sheki in Azerbaijan, it was time for me to go back to Georgia. So after looking on the map and reading the LP, I jumped in a marshrutka heading to the last Azeri town before the border – Balakan, with no idea what will I do from there. Luckily the driver imagined I would head to Georgia, and at the end of the line in Balakan, he pointed me to some taxis waiting in the market square. 20 minutes later and 3 new manats less, I was crossing the border on foot. Other taxis were waiting on the Georgian side, ready to go as far as Tbilisi or Telavi. From a 10 lari trip to Lagodekhi in a vintage Mercedes, I bargained to 30 lari for Sighnaghi.
Alternatively, as I was to realise on the road, I could have taken marshrutkas from Qax to Telavi.
