In a tent with a French man : A daily thru hiking journal

This is it, this hiking adventure is coming to an end and I'm happy to think a bit about what it meant. Finishing in luxury to celebrate our accomplishments basically, it's been such a rollercoaster, but mostly positive really. thank you all for listening seriously

This is it, the end of the hiking, the time to just relax the legs and enjoy a burning hot shower !

Mistakes were made, after a fantastic morning dancing to the views, it's been a horrendous and long day to the next hut, because I foolishly thought it would be an easy one...

Today was probably one of the hardest days, but the payoff is legendary: a brand new hut just for us! It's probably close to one of my most legendary nights ever, pure exhaustion and perfect reward

after fighting on an overgrown trail, we decide to pitch the tent next to a shepherd hut. nothing could have prepared us for the kindest, most welcoming and smiling shepherd ever. Gotcha, you the man! And apparently, I can handle 8 vodkas on an empty stomach

after visiting Mutso, a village full of skulls from the plague era, we end up in a camp where others are having fun. so we join!

That is hiking at its purest: a loooong way up to a pass, and a "knee destroyer 9000" way down to reach a random cafe in the mountains. first time at 3500m!

The hike becomes real again as we wander through a valley to a pass, and are surprised to be invited into a brand new mountain hut part of a 32 milion euro project by construction workers

Finally we're back on our feet and walking! extremely easy and pleasant hike today, with scenic views without almost any physical effort. rewarded by a last stay in a guest house before going into the wild again!

Well seems like walking is too mainstream on a hike, so instead we stopped to make Khinkalis from scratch with our adopted Georgian family!
