A MEMORABLE DAY

1. Ask your partner….• where they spent their summer holidays.• if they had a day which was special in any way.

Dato My friend Vato is a guide and often accompanies foreign tourists to different parts

of Georgia. This summer he had to accompany a group of ten middle-aged Dutch tour-ists. They wanted to see some high mountains and go on a walking tour from Tusheti to Khevsureti. Vato asked me to go along with him. I gladly agreed because I thought this was a good chance for me to see more of the country and also to practise my English. The tour started in Tusheti, in the north-east. We hired some horses and packed ev-erything we needed – tents, sleeping bags and food - for the long walk over the pass. This is usually a five-day trek at about 2,500 metres above sea level and the scenery is stunningly beautiful. Our memorable event happened on the third day. We were walk-ing along a narrow path – one behind the other – when we suddenly discovered that

TamunaI spent two weeks in Sarpi on the Black Sea coast. I was there with my parents and a

younger brother, but I spent most of my time with some friends. We went to cafes, discos, concerts… that kind of thing. Near where we were, there was a cliff, about 12 metres high. Children jump off this cliff into the sea and some of them even dive into the sea from the cliff! I told my friends I wanted to jump from the cliff as well. I swam regularly for about six years so I’m a pretty strong swimmer. My friends said they would watch how I did it. So one morning about six of us walked along the beach near the cliff. My friends stayed on the beach while I climbed up the cliff. Then I stood on the cliff-top and proudly looked down at

my ‘fans.’ I was a bit scared at first, but when I jumped off I felt an extraordinary sensation of flying. I don’t know how long I spent under the water, but it was probably quite a long time because, when I swam up to the surface, my friends looked quite worried. They all clapped when they saw me appear and they told me I was a courageous person. I felt proud. This was something I will never forget.

Rezo I spent summer in my village in west Georgia. The most interesting thing about my village is that there are

several natural caves nearby. Most of them are small, but one is really very big. In fact the villagers call it the Big Cave. They say that the Big Cave stretches for several kilometers under the ground and that it has extraordinary sights and views inside. They even say that you can see some ancient wall paintings in it. I had never been to

one of the tourists was missing. We spent almost all day looking for him. At last, just before nightfall, we found him, quite a long distance from our path. He had left the path to take a few photos and had lost his way. I think it was quite a ‘memorable’ day for him as well!

the cave before and decided to take the opportunity of visiting it. We made all the necessary preparations for the trip – we packed some food and filled up some wa-ter bottles – and we started out very early in the morning and walked downhill for about three hours. Finally we saw the entrance to the cave, which was unusually low. When we went inside the view was really extraordinary. We were in a kind of very high and very spacious hall. Water was dripping down the stone walls, which were of unusual shapes and colours. I could never have imagined that it would be so cold and wet in the cave. We couldn’t go very far inside as the cave got darker, narrower and colder as we walked. But it was a truly memorable day.
