Somewhere at night high in the trees (July 2023)

So this was a typical Racki action. In the meantime I established Racki as the nickname for Cindy. The origin of this nickname is the German word “Racker” which is used to describe a mischievous or playful person who is always up to something. It’s a perfect fit for Cindy/ Racki.

Because we wanted to spare the money and found it more interesting at night, we did this high rope course at night. So you may think there is something wrong with that and I agree. But it was a lot of fun and very safe because we used our climbing safety equipment. And of course we did not break or misuse anything.

Tropical hiking in the Mtirala National Park (July 2023)

After the climbing and the amazing Via Ferrata we went back to Batumi to take Thor to his appointment in the second car garage. When we arrived with Thor on a towing car at the second garage, the guys there did not know that we would come although the first garage had made an appointment for us.

We got a real appointment for the next week but because we did not want to wait in the city, we went to Chakvistavi. A village on the Mtirala National Park.

We found a nice camp spot next to a river and did two hiking tours in what felt like a very tropical environment.

The first tour on Komoot.

The second tour on Komoot.

Take this incredible swing out of a cave over a 50m high cliff in Sveri Georgia (July 2023)

The nice guy managing the Sveri Adventure Camp and who had bolted most of the climbing routes in Georgia had built a Via Ferrata as well.

And this one is absolutely awesome! I’m sorry for spoiling this incredible swing to you but I have to.

When we started the Via Ferrata, we did not know what to expect and then the surprises were just mind blowing!

It started with an ordinary ladder and a beautiful view. Then some trunks on which you can balance on and some walking close to the cliff.

So far, so good. But then the first big surprise: a big and interesting cave you can explore.

And then close to the end: THE SWING!

We never experienced something like this before. This swing is fixed to the five meter high roof of a cave that opens up to a 50 meter deep cliff. When you swing in it, you swing over the edge of that cliff!

It was amazing!

Really, you have to go there.

Here is the location of the Via Ferrata.
