Woke up at 08:00, down to breakfast at 09:30, back to the room and decided to hang there till check out since we’ve only got a couple of things to do today, then the flight at 03:45 so we’ll have to find something to do.
Headed off, walked along the old city wall which was bits and pieces interspersed with new buildings.
Walked along a small street lined with restaurants and saw the leaning clock tower. It was sunny and about 25c.
Carried on to the dry bridge market which was very disappointing – most of the stalls were not open, and those that were only had old cameras, some jewellery and war memorabilia.
Sat in the park for a while just relaxing, then walked back to the Paul’s for a coffee . By now it was 13:30 but we weren’t hungry.
Chilled there for a while then wandered along the main road and saw a shopping mall, so ducked in there because it was a bit hot and humid outside.
Sat down for an ice cream, today is going to be a lazy day because we’ve just about seen what we want to – there are some churches but unless we happen to walk past them we won’t seek them out, there’s also a funicular but we’ve seen a view of the city from the cable car stop.
Headed back to the hotel in the rain, spent some time in the hotel lobby before going to dinner, a Georgian restaurant just up the road from the hotel. We shared mushrooms in cheese to start, then I had lamb, Song had trout. I also had a glass of wine.
The mushrooms were good, the lamb OK and the trout average, and the portions were small.
The meal yesterday was much better, and a fair bit cheaper, this cost about 50 AUD.
Walked around the corner to Lado Gudiashvili Square, a collection of Art Nouveau buildings. Unfortunately they were all virtually demolished, all we saw was one building with ornate balconies.
Went back to the hotel and hung in the lobby watching stuff I’d downloaded until the taxi took us to the airport at 00:30.
