Indeed...it is.
I have seen so-called Russian Blue cats here in Oz, but that cat really LOOKS quite different....in the same subtle ways that Russian people look different from us. A parallel path of evolution, and exotic genetic input for a few thousand years, I guess.
Nice report, SP. Are the Georgians Russian or Greek Orthdox adherents in the main?
Noted also the photo/s of the mosque, so I guess there is a Muslim component of the population.
It looks a pretty cold & bleak countryside or is that just due to the time of your visit?
If you have more information about this trip, let her rip!
Thanks for sharing.
Great thread, food looks delish, some place to chill out, thanks.
Great thread Punter. Looks a top spot to do some sightseeing. The weather decent that time of year? It doesn't look too hot or too cold. No snow anyway from what I saw. Looks good to me.
Few pics old town and the cable car view
Most cafes have wine and it's the same price as a coffee
Enjoying these pictures...
