26/5 Hike to Gergeti Trinity Church

26/5 MOUNTAIN CHURCH CLIMB
the highlight of the day was walking from the hotel to the Gergeti Trinity Church. This was a serious walk for me and had to stop multiple times on the way up. 

On the way up an enthusiastic fellow was trying to entice us into his restaurant. On the way down we began to dream and discuss stopping in for soup. Finally we made it. He was the consumate up seller and we ended up with beef soup, red wine, a bowl of salad and a bowl of bread. While we were there, we observed a Russian family and Phoebe chatted with two young ladies from Saudi Arabia and their mother. 

The evening meal was at "Rooms hotel". I had a burger and Phoebe had borscht. Megan and a friend of hers joined us and later Bruce joined us. 

There was general consensus that both types of red wine were rough but I thought the others were just being too fussy.

I woke during the night with aching feet. Phoebe did too. Time spent giving each other foot massages before falling back to sleep. 

Very poor phone coverage. Three system showed good signal but could not access the internet or make calls. Then suddenly about 4pm it suddenly came good.
