Tbilisi

In the morning we discovered that sleeping on the carpet is not that bad that we primarily thought. This day we were sightseeing Tbilisi, first Rustaveli Ave., National Museum, building of Parliament. It is worth to mention that every tourist information in Georgia is very professional where you can get free maps, booklets and even check timetable for the train. After Rustaveli we visited Freedom Square and we moved toward an Old town. As we like strolling around not only the places which are mentioned in the booklets we got the the old Old Town too, the place which is partly abandoned as the buildings over there  are falling apart. That shocked us. What we noticed is that Tbilisi is the place where you can easily find the luxury of capitol city neighboring with a true poverty. You can see it clearly when you go up to the Saakashvili Residence which is just by the decrepit houses of ordinary people.

Later we visited ancient fortress, Presidential Palace, Avlabari Cathedral and famous Tbilisi Baths. We took a ride by Tbilisi metro. Train station and surroundings had creepy socrealistic design.
