Back in Katshki and lovely new friends (October 2023)

We went back to Katskhi for some more climbing and it was awesome as always! We met Lasha, a Georgian Climber, climbed together and shared our meals. Cindy and I did a small hike in that area and visited the small chapel on the stone pillar.

And this time our visit of Katskhi was very special because we met our lovely friends Adela and Alvaro for the first time. At a rainy day, Cindy knocked at the door of tha van and from there on we did a lot of climbing together, played a lot of Exploding Kittens and had so much fun. Spending time with them was just hilarious!

After Katskhi, Racki and I went again to Sveri for some climbing. Adela and Alvaro joined us and together we enjoyed the Via Ferrata with the magnificent swing. It was my third time, but it was again awesome!

Sightseeing marathon around Kutaisi with Racki’s mother and her husband (September 2023)

Racki’s mother and her husband visited us and rented a small apartment in Kutaisi.

This was the start of the craziest sightseeing marathon I ever did. We visited multiple sites a day! And they were for twelve days in Georgia!

So we mostly visited all the attractions in and around Kutaisi.

One day I took a break and repaired my laptop because it was super expensive to have it fixed in Georgia.

The elderly couple was not getting tired of visiting all these places. When we tried to visit a cave, the husband fell down and just when we had stopped him from rolling down a slope, Cindy’s mother fell down as well. They got some abrasions and big bruises, but their spirit of discovery was unbroken!

Although I would never do a marathon like this on my own, we had a lot of fun and we saw a lot of interesting and beautiful places.

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.
