Italy-Georgia Trip, Day 11

 Tuesday the 24th we headed back south.  We had to drive nearly to Tbilisi again before heading west to Kutaisi.  As mentioned, it wasn't my favorite driving day.  We stopped at the Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument on the Georgian Military Highway.  We also visited Uplistsikhe, a cave city, which was pretty impressive.  It was also pretty windy there, but it was cool to tuck inside the caves.  I liked singing in one of the cave rooms.  

We got into Kutaisi around 3:30pm, so we had time to wander all over Kutaisi (lots more walking - we walked at least 7 miles).  We had a nice dinner at the Argo Cafe, with Belgian waffles and ice cream for dessert.  It was outdoor seating, so we had a few dogs wander in, hoping to get some dinner scraps.  We walked up to Bagrati's Cathedral after dinner and then enjoyed the fountain lights.
