Tbilisi city centre! New and shiny, bustling and loud. Every taste catered for - even an Irish bar! Although not the first stop in Tbilisi, probably the most memorable - The Hanger Irish bar, run by an Irish-American from Kinsale!

The city provides free wifi "Tbilisi Loves You" and an app to download with hotels, restaurants, cafes and things of interest. Quite smart really. The main street is long and wide, with the big hotels, the museum and a Freedom Square with a statue of St George slaying the Dragon. St. George is the patron saint of Georgia as well as England!

The first afternoon we spent most of the time in the Marriott organising to send off for the Chinese visas. But once that was done we set off into the city... Plus most things are closed on Mondays (museums etc). So we went to the museum, walked around the town, over the Peace bridge, and stopped by KGB bar "still watching you" is their catchphrase!

It's a cool city, but expensive... and I think we will drive into the sunset for a few days, and come back to the city later...
