We got up early, packed and met our drivers. Today we split up, three to a car, and prepared for our 350 km drive over Kamchik Pass. See www.dangerousroads.org!
As excited as we were to get started, I was also quite sad as it was time to say goodbye to Alex. Over the past 40 days I have grown so fond of him, his amazing energy and courage, and his contagious laugh. He has been a grand companion and a good friend. I wish I had a daughter to marry him! Ha-ha!
There's no doubt we will stay good friends for the times that come. So with a smile on my face and a few tears in my eyes I say goodbye to a really cool fellow and one hell of a grand traveler.
Postscript: If you go hiking with Alex make sure you have plenty of water and some food! You never know where you'll end up!
