The mountains are covered in clouds again. We check the weather forecast and it seems like nothing will change in the following five days. The weather seems to be better at the Back sea, so we decide to take the chance and try to enter Abkhazia, which was Georgia’s territory until early nineties, and Georgians and most other countries still consider it Georgia.
The Russian-Abkhazian visa system seems incomprehensible, so we decide that it’s a good idea to find out more about entering the region, as this would also be useful information to other travellers. As a shortcut, we are going to take the Maikop- Tuapsi mountain pass, it appears to be a gravel road on the map, but truck drivers say we will pass there. 350 km covered today.
