This climbing area is falling apart (September 2023)

Racki and I went to the area around Borjomi and went for some more rock climbing.

But the rock was so loose… To me it felt pretty ridiculous to climb there.

Occasionally a whole piece of rock just collapsed under our hands. Wearing a helmet was absolutely necessary and never got hit by so many small rocks.

And it was a pretty crazy experience to climb there and somehow trust the rock to hold my feet and weight although I knew that this would sometimes just not work out. Sometimes I noticed that instead of “will this hold?” I was thinking “will this hold as long as I need it to hold”.

Although I would not recommend anybody to climb there, I’ve to say it was an interesting experience.

Meeting the Rhinogalaxos and Ani in Armenia (September 2023)

Look at him! Isn’t he amazing!?

Our friend Ani (who is traveling the world with her bicycle) had done her first Vipassana meditation retreat and after that we met in Armenia. Maybe a deep realization during the Vipassana let her create the amazing Rhinogalaxos. For sure our deep friendship has a part in it.

We spent some days together until we went back to Georgia and Ani continued her travels south.

Mega sightseeing marathon in Tbilisi (September 2023)

In Tbilisi, Anja, a friend of Cindy came visiting us. It was super nice to get to know a friend of Cindy from Germany, from her “previous life” and we had a lot of fun.

We had a lot of fun and were living together for three days in a small apartment in the city.

We did a whole lot of sightseeing! It was a marathon and Anja and Cindy did not seem to get tired. I guess, we did see mostly all the main sightseeing sites in these three days.

My favorite sites were: the “rocket” (radio tower which is illuminated in changing colors by night), the Chronicles of Georgia (which are just crazy) and the “mother ship” (Trinity Cathedral).

And of course the awesome Georgian food we had and the escape rooms we did!
