We are alive! – Recap of the first days

There was not much internet in the past few days, hence the delay with updating the blog…. anyhow – let’s see what happened with the Caucasian Challenge teams from Monday! On the lovely morning of August 15, 18 teams of more than 50 participants representing a dozen countries started their 17 day adventure. Some teams […]

Montenegro calling

All right, I know I stopped posting somewhere in Karabakh (?) but honestly I just didn’t have the time updating the blog every day…. really. Now, I’ve started to do the mapping for the first half of the rally: from Budapest to Istanbul. The route has changed a bit compared the previous years. First, I’m […]

Gyorshírek NKR-ből…

… ami a Nagorno Karabakh Republic, azaz a Hegyi Karabahi Köztársaság rövidítése. Mi is történt az elmúlt napokban? Sajnos Mestiából a Zagor hágón nem jutottam át, mert több forrásból is megerősítették, hogy hó miatt járhatatlan. Erre azért június közepén nem voltam felkészülve, de állítólag lavina omlott az útra és még nem olvadt el a hó. […]

A quick update from NKR…

… that is Nagorno Karabakh Republic. So what happened in the past days? I couldn’t ride the Zagor pass from Mestia to Ambrolauri as it was still closed for snow blocking the road. In mid-June it surprriised me but they said there was an avalanche that caused this so what else could I do than […]

Hegyi utakon…

Az elmúlt napok krónikája… 2 napig nem voltam netközelben, így ezeket a sorokat most Tbilisiből lövöm fel a világhálóra. Az út a nemzeti parkon keresztül nehezebb volt, mint tavaly. Vagy ugyanolyan volt, csak az én emlékeim halványodnak. Nem sokkal azután, hogy Kutaisiből kiérve elkezdtem a hegyeket mászni (tudvalevő én visszafelé csináltam meg ezt az utat, […]

Mountain rides

There was no iternet for 2 days so I upload all these from Tbilisi. The route through the national park was more difficult than I remembered from last year.. or it’s the same and only my memories fading. Not long after I started to climb the mountains from Kutaisi (I did the rout backwards, the […]

Újra a Kaukázusban!

A Budapest-Jereván repülőút akár unalmas is lehetett volna, ha nem dobják fel némi idegesítő késéssel. Azt mondták a rossz idő miatt csúsztak, miközben tucatnyi utas nézegette a gépet a terminál üvegén keresztül… valamint a mellette parkoló furgont, amelyre szép nagy betűkkel írták: Bomb Check. Végül csak felszálltunk, mi több, a végén egy darabban le is […]

Back in the Caucasus!

The flight from Budapest to Yerevan (though Prague) should have been been boring but they spiced up with some delays. They said there were some weather issues while at least a dozen people watched the plane through the glass of the terminal and the van parked next to it with huge ’Bomb check’ signs on […]

Armenians in the World / Örmények világszerte

EN I recently found an interesting page – it’s trying to give us an idea how many Armenians live worldwide and how they’re spread on the Globe. I always knew Armenian is one of the nations who’re virtually everywhere and that’s not just the result of the genocyde of the early 20th century, but that’s […]
