Caucasus Capers

Last week we went on a short holiday to Kislovodsk, a spa town in the Caucasus. It was so nice there; warm, pretty, clean – the opposite of Voronezh at the moment! We went on some excursions, the best of which was probably Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest mountain (5462m/18 510 ft).

Here are a few pictures.
