We slept really well and were woken up by the rising sun. After breakfast in front of the camper in the sun, it was time to move further east.
Our first goal for the day was the Virgin Mary Monastery, which is located high up in the mountains. To get there, we took some side valleys and were in for many jaw-dropping views.kd

Then we decided to take on another couple hours of driving and go all the way to the Black Sea again. But we realized that good night stops are getting rare, so we now stand on a parking lot close to the main road.
In the next days we will cross into Georgia, and are already quite excited for it.
