Tbilisi

Our Marshrutka stop at the Navtlugi Bus Station west of Tbilisi, where we took the Metro to Station Square to stock up at Deserter Bazaar. We took the metro again to Didube Bus Station for our transport to Kazbegi.

We book ourselves into a very nice yet affordable hotel. The room is really gorgeous and comfortable. I wish we have time to stay longer. Absolutely nice decoration, with a bathtub, and the location is convenient.

We didn't realized this is a fine dining restaurant, so they served tiny portion. Somehow we are quite disappointed, probably due to misaligned expectations, and we try to share the dishes (this is not how fine dining works). We are hoping for the usual Georgian large size serving and delicious food. I guess the food is good due to the high google ratings, but we are just not in the mood for fine dining, and the waiters seems frustrated with us as well.

Tbilisi is a beautiful and vibrant city. It is very comfortable to walk around, with beautiful buildings, architecture, churches and parks along the way.

Perhaps it looks nice at night, or my photography skill sucks.

Quite a huge park. A lot of people came here, so there are all sort of activities. There are art installations, concert hall and a play ground.

Take the cable car at Riker Park towards the hill of Mother of Georgia. It should have a nice view of Tbilisi at the top.

Narikala is an old Fortress, together with St. Nicholas Church. For me, the highlight would be the splendid view of Tbilisi. Plenty of walls to climb.

Tbilisi old town at night.

We took a bolt from the old town to this restaurant. Bolt is like an Uber, and the apps just works without much problem for first time user. The dinner should be good, but we probably order too much and we are too tired. Stll, nice ambience and service.
