Winter in October… It was snowing whole night… I have not winter clothes or boots with me… Friendly Peace Corp’s workers offered me lift out in their car. That’s what I need! We started to climb to Jvari Pass at 9 am. The road was difficult but passable. There is police check-point at Kobi – just before accent to the pass. Bad news: the avalanche blocked this only road to Tbilisi. They do not know when the road will be passable. – Go to Kazbegi and wait! Back in Kazbegi we were waiting in the hotel lobby. At 3 pm somebody informed that the road is cleared. We went back to the Kobi check- point. More then 20 cars were waiting there in the winter conditions, we joined the line hoping that we will be able to cross the pass before dusk. No, at 5.30 pm checkpoint staff informed that it is to risky to open the pass. Some vehicles decided to stay there in the snow overnight but we decided to come back to Kazbegi… It is still snowing. How many days shall we wait?
