Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located on the banks of the Kura River. This first batch is from the road into town and the approach to our hotel…

Arriving mid-day, we dropped off our luggage and went for an orientation walk around town. We crossed the river, but didn’t go far. This batch shows some of the neighborhood, a view of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, but mostly captures some interesting examples of the vendors’ wares at the Dry Bridge Flea Market…

Eventually, we went back to the hotel to check in, then I took off on my own and hiked up to the Holy Trinity Cathedral to check out the tallest church in all of Georgia. This batch shows some of the route, including the interesting architecture of the city administration building. Having been to a few orthodox churchs by now, it was quite similar, only more grand.

Next, I walked back down to the Kura River and crossed into the Tbilisi’s Old City. Here are the government building again, some local culture, local sculptures, and another church…
