Regarding Ladas, they may look pretty fragile, but they are easy to repair. I remember using a rope to connect gas pedal to the lever under the hood. It happened somewhere away from civilization. So what, I fixed it. And so on. Some parts were breaking apart easily. Some were ok. But nothing' reliable, so it's you who should keep it running.

And regarding smoking, wait, how about Vegas?

And regarding the slippery stairs and the danger, if you ever walked along the rim of Grand Canyon... I would never take children there. Too scary. But lots of kids are running along.

Okay, anyway. Too many comments today. Thank you for the report and for the pictures. Georgia is beautiful. Svaneti, with its mount Ushba, is one of the best places on this planet.
