Excursion to Sighnaghi

Today we had a long excursion to a part og Georgia called Sighnaghi. Our own guide had some stuff to do, so we went with Nanuka again.
Firstly, we went to see a town with a castle. The bus ride was kinda long, we played cards, slept and did all kids of stuff not to be bored. After all, it was fun.

So we got off the buses and went up to the top of the little hill there to the remains of the castle. The view was awesome from there. It took a lot of time for all the people to see it and come down on the same little stairs and the bus guides were crazy already, becouse of the delay. As always.

After coming down, we walked around in the town. After like half an hour of super slow walking, we ended up at a museum. Thos was not too interesting, but the view from the balcony upstairs was good.



This time we were very hungry already, at least I was. We were told that we are going to go to a restaurant, but it is like half an hour bus ride there. So I ate all my biscuits that I brought and we were good to go.

Fortunately we were in the first round of lunch, as we were in bus 1. The other half of the people ate after us. The food was pretty good after the anti-diarrhea food of the past days.





After lunch, we went to look around. The restaurant was next to a monastery, where we looked around. They have nice gardens with fruits, spices and all kings of plants.





Nanuka told us that there is a nice place with a water spring  in the valley. We went down there on a long-long stairway. More than 500 stairs.



This is some kind of holy spring, where people wash their clothes and believe that they get forgiveness for their sins. They were queueing for this.



The way up was less pleasant, but there were little places with bences to stop, sit down and have a rest.



After this, we sat down in front of the monastery and waited for the departure.
The way back was short for me, as I was sleeping all along.
