Tbilisi

I expected beautiful mountains and scenery. What I didn't expect was to like Tblisi as much as I did. It's really pretty, easy to get around (both by foot and transport), nice food, and lots of things to see and do.

Of course, it's not perfect. You may have already seen my post about the stray dogs. 😔 But overall, it's a fantastic destination that I recommend, and I'd be happy to come back. (You probably shouldn't come if you're scared of dogs!)

The 'old town' is being revovated, although my guide said it is not all traditional architecture. An interesting thing about Georgian architecture is how separate houses build a balcony that attaches to their neighbour's home (so they can drink wine together 😉) .They're very social and community minded.

Every guide I had on this trip told me how much wine the locals drink per day. One guide said his uncle's record was 11 litres! But, don't worry, the large amounts are only white wine, as they don't want a hangover!! 🤣

I'm not sure anyone would still be alive after drinking 11 litres of anything. 😮

I hadn't realised Georgia was trying to get into the European Union. That explains why it's more westernised than I expected.

Disappointing for you all, I didn't do anything embarrassing in Tbilisi!! 🤣Les mer
