The rainbow mountains and Overland Haven in Georgia (November 2023)

We continued on an off-road route in the direction of Vashlovani National Park. The short off-road track was nice and easy and we saw amazing landscapes and interesting old monasteries.

After the off-road track, we met again with Adela, Alvaro, Roxane and Vincent and together we went to the Overland Haven (see it on Google Maps).

Sarah and Grant were building up the Overland Haven after they came to Georgia from Australia.

Wippel-Woop-Woop-Wipke (aka Nora), a lovely and bit crazy German car traveler, was helping them building up the place.

We helped them installing water pipes and walls and at night we had a big, big Georgian dinner. All together and everybody had contributed something.

It was amazing and a lot of fun. And it was not the last time we would see Wippel.

One of my favorite rock climbing places in Georgia: Arsha (August 2023)

Before we went to the Kazbegi summit, we had spent some time close to the Kazbegi in Arsha. There we had found an awesome camp spot just on the foot of the climbing crag. It was super beautiful right next to a small creek.

And the climbing routes were super nice as well. Cindy/ Racki and I did my first multi pitch climbing route and that was an awesome experience as well.

After climbing the Kazbegi summit (last post), we went back to the climbing area. Julip joined us a day later and together we had a fantastic dinner to celebrate our ascent to the Kazbegi summit. Even after one day, we were still so hungry… The waitress asked us if we were sure about the amount of food we ordered.

And we met Leon and Alma, travelers from Austria. Super nice guys. We had lots of fun together.
