LOOKING FOR THE HIDDEN CAMERA

We reached the border of Georgia by foot and getting the precious stamp to let us out, we just realized that we were in the middle of nowhere with no transportation far beyond the imaginary line that was telling us that we were in Georgia.
At the same time that we where crossing the border, a van appeared with three Turkish guys and we tried our luck. After discussing an expensive price ans letting go our last Turkish currency we joined the trio...at that time we still did not know what was coming!

Some people say that a country can change you and and your traditions, well we definitely could see that as we saw a couple of naked ladies being really "friendly" with each other in the small screen that the van was equipped with. We looked to each other and start laughing as they did while they were shouting " here, no problem ".
I guess religion has to get its passport stamped too.

After a few minutes one of the guys realizes that he has done a big mistake on leaving the chains for the snow in the border as the van get its wheels stacked in the snow in the first steep slope in our way.
After pushing the van for a while and starting to think that maybe joining the fantastic trio was not a good idea, we managed to get by thanks to the car that was circulating behind us. We used one of his chains for the snow tied up with a dodgy string found in the middle of the road after learning that the chain was too small for the van's wheels.
Bad luck! we thought at that moment, but in less than a minute we started looking for the hidden camera as the driver realized that he was out of gas but not after stopping in a petrol station and buy some cigarettes for himself five minutes before!.
Luckily for us the " Saint" was still driving behind us so he could drive one of the guys and get some petrol which we managed to get finally to the next town where we hoped to get a bus ride...
