In the beautiful city of Tbilisi, I arrived late at night, and the taxi driver from the airport took me along the bypass highway, more precisely, she was so planned, but the seismic activity of the mountains did his job, asphalt was a huge waves in the light of headlights, in the night darkness on a deserted road it was truly futuristic spectacle.
My hotel was located in the old District of Tbilisi, 50 meters from the Presidential Palace, but surrounded by the dilapidated and half of the empty houses. For Tbilisi, this is a normal phenomenon, here is luxury and wealth at every step adjacent to poverty. So, as the new Holy Trinity Cathedral, I was not particularly interested, I immediately went to the old Tbilisi by going on a new bridge, on the way to the bridge there are many unusual, but unfinished buildings, they look very modernly, but for incomprehensible reasons they are abandoned. Old Tbilisi is beautiful with its tourist part, where the most famous baths of Georgia are located, but on the main streets of the old city are very noisy and crowded, constantly stick to Roma, missing money, and at each meter of the road, local guides are persistently offering their services. Therefore, having lunch, I headed through residential neighborings in search of a bus stop to get to the park located on the top of the mountain at the foot of which spread in Tbilisi, it was possible to climb the funicular, but it is always more interesting to know the new ways, in the fleet of ordinary entertainment for children and adults, but in the same building, where the station of one of the funicular (two in Tbilisi is two, the second runs from the embankment and transported the Kuru River, raises the Mother of Kartli to the monument, but it can be reached by foot, through the territory of the old temple and through Residential neighborhoods) Located a restaurant where you can take a table overlooking all Tbilisi.
Most of all Tbilisi I was remembered by unexpected discoveries, which in this city are found at every step, then these are intricate sculptures, then the temple lost among residential buildings or just the building of unusual shape and buildings, with the unusual local architecture, is the common style of the city, regardless of Year of the building buildings. I also remember the city with a huge number of book collars, where you can find editions of the 19th century, for very little money, I would not say that in modern Tbilisi you read a lot of books, all books are the heritage of the former generations, which in crisis years for the country, Exhibited for sale.
You can tell about Tbilisi infinitely, about his kind people, about his magnificent architecture, about Georgian cuisine, which ranks third in world rankings and another thousand things that can be found only in this unique city, but at least once to visit Tbilisi And feel his life.
