12/9/19 Stepantsminda in the Kazbegi region

Sam from our hotel took us on todays trip - and what a fantastic day it was.

First stop was the Ananuri Lake/Dam and the Ananuri Fort.

Sam - a fabulous guy



Last laugh!






Next stop the fresh mountain water - supposed to be excellent for your health.

The water was freezing
Past the ski village of Gudauri and to a lookout where paragliders were taking off.



This was built during USSR time and is about friendship between all the countries making up the USSR


And finally to Stepantsminda and up to the Gergeti Trinity Church.  The view from here was specatacular, with the clouds just clearing to provide a view of Mt Kazbek at over 5,000m




And to finish the day, some coffee and food at the very fancy Rooms Hotel in Stepantsminda.

Note the reflection in the window
It was a day to remember - fabulous company and wonderful scenery.
