Will, Johnny, Glyn and Kieran returned from an overnight camp at the glacier this morning. Lu, Megan, Carl & Vanessa returned later in the evening from Tbilisi and Batumi after leaving yesterday on a bus to sort out the outstanding Visa’s.
The weather today is much better, sunnier and warmer thank yesterday when we had a few light showers and it was mainly overcast.
After breakfast I walked up to the other side of the town where Phil and Marina had found the only bank in the town. At 10:00 it opened and we managed to get some cash on our credit cards (no ATM in the town at all) and then agreed to share a taxi to visit the Russian border.
En route we were taken to see a pretty waterfall after the Lada 4x4 taxi managed to climb up an impossible rough track. Some interesting road works were taking place on the road edge near the tunnel (see photo album). We stopped for a few minutes at the border and were asked not to take photos, but we did sneak a couple.
On my return to Kazbegi I visited the local church and museum. Next to the Church was the abandoned terminal for the cable car which originally went up to the Tsminda Sameba Church.
