We headed to Kazbegi along the Russian Military Highway (highway being a very loose phrase!). The highway is closed from Kazbegi to Tbilisi due to the closed Russian border so we will have to do some backtracking after the stay in Kazbegi.
Camping in the foot valley of Mt Kazbeg everyone was pleased with the beautiful location and we set up a shower tent so that we could have a hot electric shower. I think we were all starting to smell! After a very cold night we all walked to the Samba church at 2200m. A nice easy walk but I ended up getting separated from the group and got a little lost. My dodgy sense of direction eventually pushed me in the right direction... luckily! Good views from the church over the town and a leisurely walk down hill in time for lunch. That evening we had very heavy rain and gales. We all new that we were lucky to have survived 5 weeks seeing very little!
photos: Samba church. Tight on the rules- mike found out eating and drinking can also be added. Enroute breaks.
