Greetings from Georgia!🇬🇪

It's the fourth day of my trip, this time we wake up in Kutaisi: the town took its name from white river rocks

I'm obsessed with this architecture as you already know😅

Georgian market is very colourful

Now in Prometheus Cave I could not help but think stalactites resemble churchkhelas🤭 but some are also like beetroots...

coral reef...

giant clay jars and mushrooms

I even found a dinosaur!

I think "Hall of Love" was my favorite there❤️

The upper part looks a bit like honeycomb while the lower part reminds me of udder - I thought that maybe it's a sign that Georgia is the land of milk and honey😉

This is a sculpture of a man who was watching the exit if the cave for many years, together with his dog

When we arrived to Adjaria you could clearly witness the change of climat zone - on the left is what we saw before Kutaisi and on the right is near Batumi:

Here's the great Batumi Botanical Garden:

I loved these trees!!!😍

The view at Black Sea from the garden

Batumi welcomed us with rain😑

But still we could analyse the condition of local buildings - apparently they are not as old as they appear, sometimes only 5 or 10 years! But made of very cheap material in very unfavorable weather condition🙄

The sea shore at night was nice even in the rain❤️

Ali and Nino were not moving at all☹️ Maybe it's turned off for autumn... Only the guy on the right was glowing its heart

And now for something completely different: this apparently is the most common georgian bathroom - the whole floor works as a shower tray... It seemed quite confusing for us but our guide said it works really well, make the bathroom easy to clean and after opening bathroom's window it doesn't take long for it to dry👍

Third day in Georgia!❤️🇬🇪

Leaving Tbilisi (I'll be missing😔) on the way to another region of Georgia

Gere's Mtscheta, the first capital of Georgia (and some souvenirs I bought😅)

...and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtscheta.

Probably nowhere else in the worlds you can find depiction of zodiac signs inside the church!

Can there be something more cool than georgian letters from medieval times?

Traditional georgian cemetery - each family fence their graves separately

Uplistsikhe, an ancient rock-hewn town

Gori and museum of Stalin, with his private train and a little hut in which he was born (like some damn "stable in Bethlehem"...🤦)

The room about his crimes is small and generally more abt Russia than abt Stalin

I wanted not to spend and money on memory of one of the evilest persons in human history😑 But there is nothing else that would bring tourists to Gori otherwise - thanks to the museum many ppl have their jobs... We left some money buying a hot bread - (the one "to die for" in ATWD❤️ Also the next thing that my subconscience made me buy was a drink that turned out to be... a salt-carmel milkshake😆 it was really good😋)

There's ton of dogs in Georgia, they're literally everywhere. All marked to be vaccinated against rabies (but not neutered bc it is said to be... "unnatural". Sure, hungry dogs having hungry puppies is so damn natural...) To these two on the left we could only give our day-old leftover khinkali and khachapuri. The one on the right is in Kutaisi - you pet the dog and he'll walk along with you and bark at cars for you😭

Kutaisi finally
