Itinerary description
|
The hard hike from the previous day was still in our bones. We decided not to walk over the mountains to Lepushe, but along the driveway. This decision proved to be correct. We arrived in Lepushe in the afternoon. It was obvious that the people here were significantly poorer than in Montenegro, but there was a pub where you could sit outside. The host and some of the guests started a friendly conversation. We drank two beers and then headed in the direction indicated by a sign saying "Hotel Alpini". We sat on the steps at the entrance to the sun and looked over the clothesline on the really high mountains behind it. The owner's son brought us coffee and schnapps. In the afternoon we discussed and solved all the current problems of the world, drank the coffee and schnapps and looked at the mountains. The brown schnapps tasted very fruity, the taste of the clear (raki) we already knew.
