Farmers House on the East side of the Goderdzi PassEl día de ayer, para subir al paso Goderdzi fue demoledor. No fue una cuestión de pedalear cuesta arriba, sinó mas bien el estado de la ruta. He empleado para hacer apenas 30 kms el día entero y de los 30 kms 20 han sido empujando la bicicleta. Llegué al paso a las 6 PM donde me encontré una intensa neblina debido a una masa de aire frío que provenía del otro lado del valle. En pocas palabras, me alojé en dicho paso, en un dormitorio de un albergue por el médico precio de 20 Lari (5 Euros), cené en una barraca con unos chicos eslavos que nos hemos ido pasando todo el día. Ellos viajaban en motociclos de 50 cc y habían partido de Eslovaquia en una aventura que los llevará a Armenia y de regreso. He aquí el Blog de ellos:
Otro encuentro simpático fue con una pareja Austriaca de la región de bad Aussee que conozco bien. Ellos viajaban en un 4×4 Mercedes y venían haciendo un trayecto casi similar al mío. Con ellos nos quedamos charlando hasta tardas horas de la noche para despedirnos con un sol radiante por la mañana siguiente. he aquí el Blog de viaje de ambos:
A continuación les presento un video del día de hoy, el cual me salió un poco largo pero igualmente es un provisorio.
this is a fast edition of my trip through Georgia, edited in a Hostel in the city of Akthalsikhe. Even the music does not match the local Georgian Sound (due to copyrights) I tried to publish this short video to share a day with you.
Mañana por la mañana seguiré viaje a la ciudad de Khashuri por el valle del río Kura (Mtkvari), para llegar a Tbilisi, la capital Georgiana en 2 días.

The first attempt to take the fortress in 1810 fell. Russians took the city after 18 years in 1828.
