Good breakfast for 15 GEL per person.

Took a private taxi from Kazbegi/Stepantsminda to Truso Valley for 100 GEL per car (will pick us up at predetermined time). The weather is cloudy, but it is still a pleasant long walk (6h for returns). The landscape is pretty amazing, flat and vast, flanked by mountains. The end of the trail is Zakagori Fortress, with an army camp at the base. The fortress ruin is on top of a hill, so we get a pretty great view of the surrounding landscape. It started raining on our way back, and it is freezing cold. Luckily we found cover by the path, and ate our packed lunch and wine. Overall it is a pleasant walk with beautiful landscape, definitely recommended.

This is like a cafe restaurant, more expensive than Pikolo, but taste pretty good. We finally got a taste of Adjaruli Khacapuri, the Kachapuri with an egg at the center. We order Kharcho (beef soup) and Chikhirtma (chicken soup) to keep our body warm after the rainy hike.
