Another valley in Georgia that many people tell us about (and - surprise, surprise - which is sometimes called the Switzerland of Georgia) is Svaneti. It would have been a dream to paraglide there, too, if it hadn't been for the accident (read more about it in the blog post about Gudauri<\/a>). There is still a ban on paragliding in the whole country. Nevertheless, we set off. It is infinitely hot in the lowlands and we flee to the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journey with a furry incident \ud83d\udc31<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On one of our overnight stops, a little kitten runs to us. We look after it for a night... only too glad to have a travel kitten. But we don't know if we can really make that decision. Not now. With heavy hearts we bring it back to the place where it was found. Fortunately, it is adopted by a Georgian woman. This is good for our conscience, but it also means that we are still missing a cat in our lives...<\/p>\n\n\n

In Kutaisi, Georgia's third largest city, <\/strong>we make another stopover with a visit to the amusement park. It cannot be compared to the Prater in Vienna, but the \"Ferris wheel\" still triggers many emotions. First and foremost, fear of immediate collapse. Never before have I seen so much rust on something that was supposed to carry me safely upwards. But all went well once again. The ride back to the city in the gondola from 1961 is at least as exciting. Then we finally have some real Georgian vegan food: Aubergines stuffed with walnuts, spinach pkhali and lobiani (bread filled with bean paste). Super stuffed and satisfied, we move on and sleep at a dam. This is quite nice in general, but around 4am a slightly drunk security guard comes and wakes us up. We don't quite understand why he woke us up so forcefully. Presumably he just wanted to make sure we didn't take any drugs here? Anyway, he says goodbye again and lets us sleep on.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
