 Mtskheta by sachara

 Mtskheta by sachara
The first church at this place, and in Georgia, was built in the 4th century. It was 150 years later replaced by a stone church. The foundations of this church you can still see in the cathedral.
The present building is constructed in the 11th century.
For many centuries this was the place, where the Georgian kings were crowned, married and buried.
Inside the cathedral is richly decorated with wonderful frescoes.
At the Christian frescoes I discovered some flying saucers ! Leave a Comment Directions: About 25 KM north of Tbilisi

 the giant stadium. by cachaseiro

 view at Tbilisi by sachara
We sat in a cabin with many local girls. Because they thought I was also from their country I got also one of the girls on my lap. We laughed a lot together, when they found out I was not from their country or even from Russia.
Half way the funicular railway is the Mama Daviti Church. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the Funicular Railway from Tavadzis Gamziri at the south bank

 view at the Nankala Fortress by sachara
This fort has a long history. First it was a Persian Citadel in the 4th century. Much of the present walls were built in the 8th century by Arab emirs. Later Georgians, Turks and Persians captured the fort. In 1827 the fort and church were destroyed by an explosion.
You can visit the fortress, but we didn't. Leave a Comment

The stay in Batumi was very brief, and was basically an overnight after a long travel day. Honestly, though, Batumi was the place that I experienced perhaps some of the very worst 'culture shock' of my life. I really won't go into it here. We seemed to miss the 'major' sights on the city, mainly because, well, we were tired and a bit flipped out. We did see the very nice and atmospheric port, though, along with a lot of 'street life.'
Also, it was in Batumi that we had our very first tastes of Georgian food in Georgia. For that, I'll always be grateful! Leave a Comment

 Mtskheta, Sveti Tskhoveli by sachara
The Sveti Tskhoveli is the place, where according to the legend, the robe of Christ is buried. The legend tells that a Georgian Jew, who was in Jerusalem at the time of the crucifixion, returned with the robe in Mtskheta. When his sister took the robe from hin, she died and is buried with the robe. A tree grew on the grave.
The meaning of Sveti-Tshoveli is '' life-giving column'' Leave a Comment Directions: Mtskheta is about 25 KM north of Tbilisi.

 Tsaminda Sameba on the hill
above Kazbegi by MalenaN
From Kazbegi it takes about one and a half hour to walk up to the church. I was there in the end of June and the meadows were in full bloom. It is a beautiful walk with the meadows, the birch forest and the mountains (the highest of them Mt Kazbeg) around.
The church was built in the 14th century, but the tower added later. It is locked so if you want to have a look inside you should pick up the key from the caretaker in Gergeti village on your way up. Leave a Comment

Climb the fortress to get a good view.
The blue water that can be seen in the background of the picture is the Zhinvali Reservoir.
The shared taxi I took from Tblisi to Kazbegi stopped here for me to see the place. Leave a Comment
