Day 26 - We go for a ride !

After yesterdays "prelim"today was the real thing as we loaded up our stomachs (full of stodgy breakfast cement) and made out way back to Chiatura.

While the "Coffin boxes" are no longe in use a few relics were on display as we wandered around this fairly grim looking town !

While we wandered aimlessly we did coma across some of the newer Franch cable cars that well serves the town with many Residents perched all over this steeply sided gorge.

With Kev thinking he'd be ripperd off (he thought the cable car charge was $50 when in it was 50 cents) we took one of the local cars for great views of this once important town

With most people looking like the world had just ended we headed back out of town first by way of the incredibly large WWII statue superimposed against rapidly decaying high rise buildings and then it was On to the Khaski Pillar for a closerip view

Although not open to the pubic we had a good enough view to marvel at the rock and the buildings on top as well as the spiritual devotion of the monks who maintain it !

There were some good questions put by H including .. Why ..Can they receive the Footy up there … and how the hell do you carry up a slab of beer !

While I said I would check it out it was back to our home abode (400 metres away) for some googling and doggie play time for Kev !
