scotswarrior31 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Our wee group has been having a walkabout today! Weather is warm but not uncomfortable. Had breaky in some wee bar/cafe just off the main touristy bit and it was something like £16 for 5 beers, 5 waters, we all had food and 3 coffees. If you drink in the touristy bits it's about £7-8 for 4 beers. Sat in a German themed bar now and the manger has just put a mini cask of whisky on our table and told us it's free for us! Will probably be bedded by 8 noo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Flight was delayed 3 hours so never got to bed until 4am. Just woke up and about to head into town. Will look out for you guys. I'll be incognito until the GF leaves and the lads arrive on Wednesday. The first days are -'proper holiday, quality time' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan BGS Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Weather pretty good here in Tbilisi - apparently it got a bit cooler and more pleasant last week - still low 80s though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can put up with the over enthusiastic presenter, this is a good documentary on Georgian food (and some Tbilisi info) http://youtu.be/U5memhOqukU J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan BGS Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hi Snapper, if you look back through the thread, there's a link to a guide a friend of my here produces - THE GEORGIAN. Gives you a good flavour of the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan BGS Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That's the thing about it - is it Europe or Asia. In some ways, it's pretty European - there's an EU flag flying outside the parliament. But Georgian history involves Iran pretty much as much as Russia. If you're interested in that sort of thing, you could try the permanent Exhibition of Soviet Occupation which is on the top floor of the National Museum close by Freedom Square.

Tartan BGS Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hot off the press - if you can get hold of a copy of Georgia Today - an English language paper - you'll find it in the Sheraton lobbies etc - there's a great piece on p 23 written by an ex-pat Scot called Alastair Watt: "Supra for the Scots - Tartan Army Guide to Tbilisi".

scotswarrior31 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Been here since Friday now. Tbilisi is quieter than usual due to local holidays according to locals. Sherdeni St seems to be full of shisha bars and dodgy looking clubs, however there are lots of good bars in the surrounding area though that are half the price. (Sherdeni St is still much cheaper than UK prices) The street is still a good place to end up at the end of the night when you've had a few drinks though. The Hanger bar has a lot on for our visit and they were playing the usual TA songs in the bar even though there were only 4 of us in there. I've read on here it was a popular bar in 2007 and they are looking forward to the week ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
