The reason for that adventure was that I wanted to spend some time outside of civilization. To heal my
mind. It took me two weeks to prepare that.
Finally on the way, early afternoon we arrived the cave near a village in western Georgia. A spring with
good water is close, cave is good, but not perfect, too open. My friend who brought me there, left and
now I am alone. Unpacked to make the cave to my home for the next days. Last week I have not slept
much and now I do. The village is about 15 minutes away, I can see it.
Next morning maybe I will explore the terrain a bit, up on the top is an old church and maybe more
caves. But I am lazy, just sitting in the sun, and writing diary.
Day one. Still dont want to move, tired. Happy to be here and alone. Slept most of the day. In afternoon
I found another small cave very close, moved into it. More protected from wind and rain, and not easy
to see. Calm and satisfied to take the timeout.
Idea is to stay 2 weeks, but I will see. Enough food I brought with me.
I know I am a bit crazy, but it is good that way. I know how to heal myself. If I am always around
people, there is no time to think, to come down, to grieve.
For me it is normal to be alone in the night, even if I sleep outside. Before my accident last summer,
where I stayed nearly 2 weeks alone outside, I was never imaging I would do that and survive.

Now its wednesday, I was exploring the neighbourhood, back to my cave I have seen on the other side
of the canyon some cows. The village is close, in afternoon were people there too, to look after the
cows. Of course they could see my cave.
I was not sure, that is good.
They came over, we spoke. One hour later they came back with khinkali and wine. Two of their friends
came too. We spoke, drunk and laughed a lot. Next day again they came with food, this time we were
sitting next the spring down in the canyon.
And like always the people just adopt me. How I can go away from a country like that.
Somewhere between I felt sad, and I was gone to my cave early to sleep.
Next morning both boys from first day dropped by to take care, that I am fine and have everything,
always they brought me food, water and what else I needed.
Both of them invited me to their family houses, but I answered, how you want to explain where you
found me, can you imagine the faces, when you will say my name and that I am living in a cave right
now.
My american friend called and came to visit me, and for the next day we made plans to explore the
area together.
That evening the village boys brought some visitor, and I felt uncomfortable, but they said, nothing will
happen, dont worry. And the night was peaceful.
Next morning I was gone to meet my friend and we hiked til afternoon. Back to the village on the way
to my cave again encounter with the strange visitor from day before and I made some trouble in front
of people on the street, to protect me.
And again the night was safe, but next morning the younger boy came and I moved into one of the old
houses near the village, to be more safe, too many people knew already that I am alone up there.
Not that I am afraid, but it was a good place. I could sit in the sun, just going in, when people were
close. Nobody has seen me.
The older one of the boys came for coffee, and tried to convince me to go to another village, which we
did next day. And from there I was going back to Tbilisi, to start a job.
Next time I want to spend more time in a cave but more far away from villages. To make legends.
