Having left Gori behind us, we first visit a church, Ateni Sioni followed by an ancient cave city Uplistsikhe.
Next, the St. George Chitakhevi Monastery (aka. Green Monastery).
From there, we stop along the way to Sapara Monastery for more photos of autumn.
After Sapara, it’s next to a women’s nunnery, Saro Monastery.
Next, the cave city of Vardzia where I befriend a group on a school excursion.
From Vardzia to Ubisa…
… and on to Bagrati Cathedral, which is under heavy reconstruction work…
… and finally to Gelati Monastery which easily ranks as one of my favourite places in all of Georgia.
After the visit to Gelati, it’s time for me to leave Koba and Jean as they head to Mtskheta while I go on to try and enter Abkhazia.
