We arrived in Tbilisi in the early hours and stayed in an amazing homestay called Irine’s Place – a friendly place run by a woman who never seems to sleep and has connections everywhere…
Spent the day sightseeing around the old town – the Narikala Fortress, the statue of Kartlis Deda (Mother Georgia), the sulphur spa, Rustaveli shopping district, cathedrals, the synagogue – allowing ourselves to be touristy for a day and get over the slight jetlag..
We set off to Yerevan the next morning in a crowded marshrutka and will be there for the next 10 days.
