Lagodekhi, Georgia

Lagodekhi National park - finally back to walking, camping and long days of hiking 😍😍
Or not...
With the heavy rains of early October all the bridges on the trail to the black rock lake have been washed away and the trail is therefore closed 🥺
A bit bummed by the news we stroll around Lagodekhi, watch a local Georgian football match and find our best guesthouse yet.
Or not...
Halloween is upon us and our host is clearly taking her witch costume very seriously, she even has the missing teeth 😐

A clear blue sky brightens our mood and we head out determined to see as much of the park as we can, trail closed or not. Our balance skills turn out to be quite good considering our very high centres of gravity, logs and stones making very good bridge alternatives.
After almost 1000m D+ of walking and lots of woodpecker watching, we trekked back regretting not to have taken all the camping gear with us.
Moral of the story; Georgians are very quickly discouraged by broken bridges.Read more
