The day felt so long. up with breakfast and out the door.
we stopped about an hour into the drive to gaze at this.
We met a nice family who took our picture for us.
And we were headed to Karagol. A lake hidden away in the mountains. but about 2km from it, this is where it all happened.
Drew had noticed at about 5km out that the clutch was no longer under his foot, but we could make it to the destination as long as we kept going (uphill) and didn't stop. We had 2 cars in front of us so we made sure to go slow around the hairpin curves up the mountain. Until we got to the road that was being repaired by 2 Georgian men. Everyone stopped and our car died.
With no clutch starting it again was not in our favor. So we got out and they backed us into a ditch so the herd of cars behind us could get around. I got out our lunch and began to let the boys eat their sandwiches. We got a number of a tow truck from a taxici coming up the hill. But Drew decided to try one more time to get it started. So after an hour on the hillside, he was able to somehow start it, uphill, and get it turned around headed down hill, with the clutch still out and only in 1st gear, we all got back in and slowly cruised down the hill.
Until we happened upon the tow truck that was headed to pick us up.
And we all squeezed in the cab with a Arhavili man and headed to the repair shop.
back through town we sat an hour to get the car fixed and had exact change to pay for it.
On the way home we were feeling bummed about the day being wasted, we passed a new beach spot, but we didn't have our suits.
So instead we headed up to a waterfall.
Up a tiny road, across a bridge.
through the path next to some honey hives.
The "spooky" path according to the boys.
not exactly the waterfall we were hoping for.
But we finally got there, after a long tiring walk.
our silly selfie, at this point we were adventured out.
my girl, and the easy life of being carried everywhere
When we came down we had dinner at a little roadside place and headed home.
just in time to see the sunset from the hwy.
