Subject: Post: Today was a bit different day than originally planned: We were thinking of doing a quick and easy visit to the David Gereja Monastery some 60 kilometers from Tbilisi. I was expecting it to have some kind of decent asphalt road all the way to the monastery..Well, it was not the case. The last 30 kilometers we were driving on desert next to the Azerbaijan border. There was some kind of path visible most of the way, but most of the time it was at least partially covered by flying snow. In the worst places we had to cross half a meter deep snow or just leave the road and drive on terrain to get around the deepest piles of snow. The desert was cold, windy and the snow was flying everywhere blocking visibility.Finally we made it to the monastery, walked around a bit and left back to Tbilisi. The rest of the evening was spent in Eastside shopping mall, looking for a scarf and some other stuff, in addition to buying souvenir wines from a Carrefour shop.We are thinking of changing the plan for tomorrow too: Waking up very early and driving to Gudauri for a couple of hours of skiing before leaving Georgia in the late afternoon. The weather forecast is good for tomorrow, so visibility in Gudauri should be much better than last time. Although it will be -14C there... And -20C in Kiev. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
