Phespirit goes to Georgia
Tbilisi     May/June 2008

UPLISTSIKHE CAVES There are all manner of rock-cut grottoes at Uplistsikhe but this is the grandest - called Tamaris Darbazi, the 'Hall of Queen Tamar'. The concrete pillars are not Bronze Age.
GREMI TOWERS Gremi was the first stop for Phespirit on his trip to the Kakheti region around Telavi. The tower on the left is a palace, the one on the right is the Church of the Archangels. Visitors may only ascend the tower-palace, but good views work just as well in mono.
ALAVERDI CATHEDRAL This was Phespirit's favourite building in the Kakheti region around Telavi. The interior is tremendously atmospheric. The exterior speaks for itself.
