TWELFTH DAY: LANDSLIDE AND FURTHER PLANS.

Few days ago on a road that connects Mestia and Zugdidi landslide from Caucasus mountains went down. But the road is clear for transport.

At the roadside locals show us silk tree’s berries – they look a bit like our dewberries and are very delicious. Georgians have named them tūta. Also a pig mother loves the berries as she with great carefulness finds them among trash beside the road.

Our plan is to go North from Tbilisi to Kazbegi. Then in Tushetia we will try to win the famous Omalo crossing, which is located not far from Dagestan. This crossing is widely known as difficult route. We will try to conquer it. After Omalo our freedom winds will lead us South, where at the mountain caves Vardzia monastery is hidden.
