Don Curry amaliza gawo lalikulu la ulendo wake lero. Ulendowu, womwe poyamba unapangidwira maiko atatu, unachepetsedwa kukhala mayiko awiri chifukwa cha kukana kwathunthu kwa Azerbaijan. Don Curry amaliza gawoli ku Armenia lero kuti abwerere ku Georgia ndi kukafufuza mozama kumadzulo kwa dzikolo. Ngati zonse zikuyenda monga momwe anakonzera.

Gome lokonzedwa bwino linali kuyembekezera Don Curry m'chipinda chabwino cha kadzutsa: mkate, soseji, tchizi, mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya masamba ndi zipatso, yoghuti, jams, makeke ndi zina; omelet adapangidwa mwatsopano kwa iye pamene adadza. Asanachoke ku tawuni yabwino ya Gyumri, adafuna kukachezera nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale yomwe idatsekedwa dzulo, Lolemba. Imaperekedwa kwa alongo awiri Mariam ndi Eranuhi Aslamasjan, ochokera ku Gyumri ndipo anali m'gulu la akatswiri ojambula ofunikira kwambiri ku Soviet Union. Zithunzi zochepa chabe, zojambula ndi zojambula za ceramic kuchokera ku ntchito zake zambiri zomwe zikuwonetsedwa. M'mitundu yawo yowala komanso zojambula zowoneka bwino, zinthu zina zimafanana ndi kalembedwe ka Frida Kahlo, koma alibe mawonekedwe ake odziwonetsera okha. Pambuyo pa chakudya cham'mawa chophikira ku Villa Kars, kadzutsa kameneka kameneka kanapereka chithandizo chofunikira poyambira tsikulo. Atatha drama yake yomaliza m'sitolo yayikulu, Don Curry adachoka osachitanso malire.

Anadzibweretsera yekha nkhawa. Kuyeza kwamafuta kwa Xerra kunali patsogolo pa "E" kuti "chopanda." Koma popeza kuwala kwa chenjezo lachikasu kunalibe, Don Curry anamva kuti amayenera kudzaza atawoloka malire; ku Georgia, Super ndiyabwinoko komanso yotsika mtengo. Kotero iye anayamba. Patangopita nthawi yochepa Gyumri, nyali yochenjeza inayatsa pafupi ndi geji yamafuta. Kodi mafutawo anali okwanira makilomita angati? Iye sankadziwa. Panalinso makilomita 50 kuti tipite kumalire. Makilomita khumi kutsogolo kwa malire, Don Curry pomalizira pake adapeza malo opangira mafuta pomwe ankafuna kudzaza malita 20 kuti akhale otetezeka. Koma malo opangira mafuta opangira mafutawo sanavomereze kulipira makadi, ndipo Don Curry analibenso ndalama za ku Armenia. Woyang’anira pamalo opangira mafuta a galimoto analoza msewu wopita kumalire, ndipo Don Curry anaganiza kuti atha kunena kuti padzakhala siteshoni ina yamafuta yomwe inalandira makadi posachedwapa. Koma sizinali choncho. Mwinamwake wantchitoyo anangonena kuti akadzaze ku Georgia.

Kuwoloka malire kunali kwabwinoko komanso kwamakono kuposa mnzake sabata yapitayo. Panalinso misewu iwiri yamagalimoto apa, komwe mumatha kuyendetsa mpaka kukauntala. Munangotuluka ndikutsegula thunthu kuti muwongolere kasitomu. Woyang'anira za kasitomu wa ku Georgia anali wolunjika kwambiri ndipo adauza Don Curry kuti abweretse katundu wake pa scanner ya katundu kuti awonedwe. Chilichonse chinayenda mofulumira komanso mosavuta, koma kunalibe malo opangira mafuta pamalire. Malinga ndi GoogleMaps, zitha kukhala zotheka kudzaza tawuni yotsatira mu 30 km. 30 Km ena? Kodi Xerra angatani? Don Curry anayesa kuyendetsa bwino mafuta momwe angathere. Pambuyo pa 20 km, malo opangira mafuta adawonekera m'mphepete mwa msewu womwe GoogleMaps sanauzindikire. Panalibe Super, koma Don Curry anangothamangitsa malita 10 a petulo wamba mu thanki. Kumeneku kunali kutha kwa ulendo wodzibweretsera. Mumzindawu, Don Curry anadzaza tanki mpaka pakamwa pake ndi mafuta amtengo wapatali.

Iwo anali atayamba kale kulira mu Armenia. Mitambo yotuwa yakuda inalendewera mowopsa pamwamba pa mapiri obiriwira a Jawaketi kum'mwera kwa Georgia. Don Curry adaganiza zopewa njira yachidule yopita ku Wardzia Monastery pamtunda wamakilomita ambiri osayalidwa, ndikukonda kuyenda mumsewu wa phula wozungulira mapiri. Wardzia atangotsala pang’ono kugwa, mvula yamphamvu inagwadi, mphezi zinaunikira thambo lakuda masana ndipo mabingu anaomba chapatali. Nyumba ya amonke ya Vardzia Cave ndi imodzi mwazachikhalidwe chofunikira kwambiri ku Georgia. Koma akhoza kufufuzidwa panjira zotsetsereka komanso masitepe ambiri pamiyala. Mvula yamvula, Don Curry sanafune kudziwonetsera yekha kwa izo. Choncho anatembenuka m’malo oimika magalimoto n’kuyendetsa galimoto kulowera komwe amapita.

Ali m’njira anadutsa m’dera limene chimphepocho chinawomba mwamphamvu. Mapiri a matalala oyera anali mumsewu, ndipo misewu yotsetsereka inasanduka mitsinje yolusa. Mathithi ongochitika mwadzidzidzi anapangika paliponse ndipo m’malo ena nyanja zongopangidwa kumene zinakuta msewu wonsewo. Palibe chilichonse mwa izi chomwe chinayambitsa vuto kwa Xerra wolemera komanso wamiyendo yayitali, ndipo Don Curry anali wokondwa kuti sanayendetse m'dera la mvula yamkunthoyi m'galimoto yabwinobwino. Inatsanulira mosayimitsa pafupifupi njira yonse. mvula yamkunthoyo inasiya kutatsala pang'ono kufika tawuni ya Akhaltsikhe.

Apa Don Curry anatembenukira ku nyumba ya amonke ya Sapanta pamwamba pa mapiri a matabwa. Popeza kudali kudali mvula, ndiye mlendo yekhayo. Chikwangwani choletsa kujambula chinapachikidwa mosakayikira pachitseko cha tchalitchicho, ndipo mmonke watcheru anali atakhala m’tchalitchicho. Zithunzi zowoneka bwino zamakoma akale, zomwe zili m'gulu la zokongola kwambiri mdzikolo, zasungidwa ku Sapanta. Pamene mmonkeyo motopa anatsitsa mutu wake pamwamba pa tebulo patsogolo pake, Don Curry anatenga ichi ngati chilolezo chachinsinsi chojambula zithunzi. Mmonkeyo sanafune kuziwona. Atakhutira, Don Curry anabwerera ku Akhaltsikhe, kumene hotelo yachilendo inamuyembekezeranso. Inamangidwa m'bwalo lakunja la linga lalikulu la Rabati pamwamba pa Akhaltsikhe ndipo ndi mawonekedwe ake akum'mawa idalumikizana ndi malo ozungulira. Zipindazi zinali zongogwira ntchito, koma zinkapereka maonekedwe okongola a bwalo lakum'mawa ndi zina za nsanja za mpanda.

Pamene dzuŵa linawomba modabwitsa, Don Curry anafunsa ngati lingalo likanatha kuwonedwabe pa 6:00 p.m.? Don Curry adalandira tikiti ndipo adakwera masitepe kupita ku bwalo lamkati. Muzovuta zazikulu, zomwe muyenera kukwera pang'onopang'ono masitepe ambiri, mzikiti wakale ndi wochititsa chidwi kwambiri, womwe denga lake linali lopangidwa posachedwa. Palinso nyumba zina ndi minda mumayendedwe akum'mawa, tchalitchi, nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale komanso nsanja yamphamvu yodzitchinjiriza yomwe mbendera yaku Georgia imawulukira. Don Curry adatenga nthawi yake kuti afufuze chilichonse mwamtendere ndipo pamapeto pake adakwera nsanja yapamwamba, yomwe idapereka malingaliro otalikirapo pa Akhaltsikhe ndi malo ozungulira. Mpandawu uyenera kuti unakonzedwanso mokongola kwambiri kuposa kale lonse, koma mbali zake zambiri zokongola ndi phwando la ojambula zithunzi.

Atatsika, Don Curry adaganiza kuti inali nthawi yoti adye chakudya chamadzulo. Analamula zapadera za Jawaket, Tatarberak, pamodzi ndi nyumba yapadera "Gino Spezial" ndi mbatata yokazinga pambali, zonse pamodzi ndi madzi a Borjomi ndi botolo la rkatsiteli, zina zonse zomwe angatenge nazo. Don Curry anangozindikira kuti adalamula mabomba a kalori pamene adatumizidwa. Tatarberak imakhala ndi Zakudyazi zokhala ngati farfalle mu msuzi wa buttery yoghurt, womwe umatha kuwonjezeredwa ndi adyo mumafuta, anyezi wokazinga mumafuta ndi kirimu wowawasa. Chokoma koma chodzaza modabwitsa. Koma "Gino Spezial" atabwera patebulo, Don Curry adadabwa kwambiri. Kutsogolo kwake kunali mbale ya poto ya poto, pansi pa tchizi wokhuthala ndikudula nyama yankhumba, bowa ndi anyezi mu batala wolemera ndi kirimu msuzi, zonse zophikidwa ndi magawo a mbatata yokazinga ndi zokongoletsedwa ndi tomato. Zachidziwikire, imodzi mwazakudya zokometsera komanso zokoma kwambiri paulendowu, koma Don Curry adayenera kuwongolera pakati. Pambuyo pa chacha cholimbana ndi mafuta, adapita kuchipinda chake kuti akadikire usiku. Kenako adanyamukanso kuti akayamikire linga lomwe tsopano likuwunikira mowoneka bwino m'njira zonse.
