Welcome to Episode 087 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
This is part two of an overview of my recent trip to the Caucasus region of Eurasia, and covers the five days I spent in the country of Georgia, mainly the capital city Tbilisi. I also talk about far too much cheese and garlic, the worst beer I’ve ever had in my life, and quite a few strange statues.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
- Audio quality of recent episodes
- Problems when your debit card gets cancelled
- Arrival in Tbilisi
- First experience with Georgian food
- Transport in Tbilisi
- The Georgian National Museum
- Beer and bars in Tbilisi
- Uplistsikhe – the city built into a sandstone hill
- Food in Tbilisi
- The overnight train to Yerevan
- Tbilisi street sculptures
- The cable car and the Mother Georgia statue
- Being enby in Georgia
