  • Eventyrlandet Mellom Kaukasus Og Svartehavet Vandreområde I Kaukasus Churchkhela – Søtsak Fra Georgia Stolte Tradisjoner I Vinproduksjonen
    9. – 16. septemberDATO 2016 GEORGIA – eventyrlandet mellom Kaukasus og Svartehavet Vandreområde i Kaukasus Churchkhela – søtsak fra Georgia Stolte tradisjoner i vinproduksjonen Bli med oss på en spennende reise og bli like fasinert som dikteren Knut Hamsun, som kalte Georgia for et «æventyrland». Et naturparadis - uoppdaget og ukjent for de fleste nordmenn – men en liten juvel i Europa venter. Den berømte Silkeveien gikk gjennom Georgia og det er her Europa møter Asia. I dag er landet en fascinerende blanding av orientalsk og vestlig eleganse. Dette frodige landet gir store naturopplevelser – 5000 meter høye fjelltopper, isbreer, storslåtte grønne daler, semi-ørken, subtropisk regnskog og langstrakte hvite strender. En tusenårig kultur med eldgamle klostre og kirker og spennende folklore og tradisjoner. En gammel, gregoriansk legende forteller at Vårherre under Jordens skapelse skulle ta seg en matbit. Han ble imidlertid så opptatt av det guddommelige måltidet at han snublet over Kaukasus høye fjell og mistet all mat og vin ut over Georgia. Derfor spiser og drikker man så godt i dette fjerne landet. Dag 1: Voss – Tbilisi i fjellet åpenbarer tusenvis av vinflasker med årgangsvin. Vi kjører buss til Flesland hvor vi flyr via København og Selvfølgelig fristes vi til å smake, og i en av vintunnellene Istanbul til Georgias hovedstad. står vinglass, brød og olivenolje klar til oss. Stort vinutsalg for den kjøpelystne. Utpå ettermiddagen kommer Hotel Dag 2: Tbilisi Royal Batoni til syne på en høyde omkranset av tett skog. Vi bor på Mercure Old Tbilisi Hotel midt i gamlebyen – et Det ser ut som et eventyrslott. Gled deg til en natt med en perfekt sted for å utforske hovedstaden til fots.

  • Daily Report for 22 August 2008
    Emergency Operation in Georgia Daily Report for 22 August 2008 Displacements caused by recent conflict over South Ossetia Displacement within Georgia excl. South Ossetia 98,600 Displacement within South Ossetia 30,000 Sub Total Georgia 128,600 Displacement to Russian Federation 30,000 Displacements Total 158,600 In addition, Georgia has a caseload of 220,000 IDPs from previous crises. Displacement in the delta of the river Enguri UNHCR has today discovered a typical situation of night displacement in the delta of the river Enguri in Western Georgia. The right river bank, which used to be Georgian, is now under Abkhaz control and a total of 59 families (some 240 people) from the village of Ganmuhuri crossed the river in the evening on boats to spend the night with host families in Anaklia, the village on the other side. During the day the IDPs cross the river again to go home to work on their fields, especially now during the heights of the hazelnut harvest. UNHCR met with the mayor of Anaklia and promised to deliver blankets and some additional kitchen sets for the displaced and the host families. In this region, there are also plenty of old IDP families displaced during the conflict in the 1990’s and they too will receive blankets to make it easier for them to host the new IDPs. UNHCR to draft the strategy on shelter In a shelter coordination meeting which took place yesterday, it was agreed that UNHCR will draft the overall strategy for shelter by the end of the week. The strategy will be shared with all humanitarian partners on Monday, for information and comments, before its presentation to the Georgian Government later next week.
