Last trip with Petra (Czech). First trip with Madis (Estonia). Three days wandering
around Georgia from one end to the other. Eleven hours in marshrutka in Mestia.
The return trip was a racier with hitch-hiking from Mestia to Kutaisi. One
experience after another, as it is usually in Georgia. But the experiences are
priceless, that´s right. And we returned full of new energy. I'm already
looking forward to go back there in the spring. Svaneti has amazed us. We went eight-hour
trek from Mestia toward the mountain Ushba, which climbers called it
"Caucasus Matterhorn". And this mountain aroused strong respect. It
was a wonderful trip with wonderful weather. Even at night when we slept in all
clothing we had with us. We climbed under the Ushba 3000mnm, we are treading in
the snow, was dressed only in a T-shirt and enjoy the beauty and quiet. No one
anywhere. The original plan was to find a small lake, but without success. At
least Madis built his first snowman, we slipped ass over the hill and ate snow.
Along the way we found out how convenient it is when you are able to at least
somewhat speak to georgian. Because then marshrutka driver can offer to you for
lunch, even when everyone else waiting for you in marshrutka.. And then take up
directly in front of hostel. Tomáš and Florian warned us that hitchhiking of
Mestia is quite expensive, so we are prepared for it, and Georgian sentence
"We have no money, we are volunteers" fortunately helped. In hitchhiking
back to Kutaisi Madis found his new talent, probably it will be his future job
in Estonia (or maybe in Georgia also). For me cows were the funniest. When I
was little, and I ran out, I always had to be home when the street lamps lit.
Cows in Mestia it had pretty similar. It was sixth o´clock and all the cows
mooing obediently in front of their door, came back of the pasture, and they
wanted to go home. Morning they set off again, like usually at ten o'clock..on
everything is enough time. Looking back I realize, most of the photos are
either Usha or cows. I do not know what fascinated me more :).
