In the next couple of weeks a lot of old and new friends came visiting us and together we had a lot of fun spending time together, partying, eating and everything.
Whoopy moved temporarily to Gudauri to work there as well. Together we did the installation of a new battery in her camper on the parking lot.
Adela and Alvaro came up the mountain and Adela made her first move on a snowboard. And she did very well.
We got to know Sarah and Wourter, friends of Whoopy and they made their first moves on the snowboard as well. It was super awesome to see them learning so fast and having so much fun.
My snowboarding improved further but one day I blocked my back. It was a big pain and for one week I could not snowboard.
In January I had to do a border run to Armenia with Rosinante. Because of customs regulations.
It was actually super nice to spend some time in a mild climate and just hanging around outside. And it was super nice to experience Armenian hospitality again. After a couple of minutes at a nice spot at a river, some guys started a barbeque and invited me to join. We had a great time together.
After a night in Armenia, I went to Tbilisi, visited a nice bazaar with Whoopy and met Racki who went down from the mountain with a Minibus. Together we went to the airport to pick up a friend of her who came to visit us. We spent a nice time in Tbilisi sight seeing and in the evening we went for dinner and a cocktail bar.
In the cocktail bar we met friends who we had met in Gudauri. Our time in the bar was crazy. The waitress and bar keeper was absolutely drunk and maybe on some other drugs and we had weird but funny conversations. After some time a Russian girl joined us. She was drunk as well, very funny, had a rich husband and in the end she paid all our drinks.
And the friend of Racki brought my snowboard and equipment that I had bought in Germany via Kleinanzeigen. It was super awesome to finally have my own stuff. My snowboard was pure red and I called it ZÀpfchen. The friend of Racki got late to the airport in Germany because of the public transport. He was so late that there was no time to check in the big bag with all my stuff properly and so the airline let him bring the big bag without paying.
After two days another friend of Racki joined us and together we had so much fun snowboarding, hanging around and spending time together.
