Kaukasian visit - Georgia
I spent the first day in Tbilisi just wondering and going around by myself, enjoying time to time nice Georgian
Saperavi-red wine in several terraces. On my route I found an Uzbek restaurant Gruzbek with a beautiful view to the river crossing the city. Later I had a snack and drinks in a real American Hangar Bar, with its local Americans from the US base. Our hotel was a very modern 5-star glass tower Radisson Blu Iveria. Tbilisi is over 1500 years old but also a very modern charming city with many ultramodern buildings of an Italian architect, whose name I just now do not remember.
Next day we drove to Georgian countryside and to Mtskheta's churches with religious ikons. Later we had an interesting visit to town Gori, where Josef Stalin was born. There was a palace like museum of his life, consisting mainly of thousands of photos and portraits of him. There also was a little wooden house, his modest birth place on its original site, and his not very luxury railway wagon.
The last two days there I spent alone in the city with my normal style, except that the last lunch in Tbilisi I had with a couple from our group at Gruzbek. Then even not too far but trough very bad flight connections we had to accept a very uncomfortable schedule back home.
