The Sunday bike trip was once again going to the Tbilisi Sea, this time we started along the Kura River biked upstream. An impressive amount of fishermen along and in the river were busy socialising and fishing, and also seemed to catch a lot of small fish. The strong smell of sewage originated from the many small outlets of untreated wastewater along the river did not seem to bother them.
On our way Vlado and I decided to visit the gigantic monument at the northwest end of the lake, visible form nearly all over Tbilisi. It was made in 1982 according some local policemen, but it not popular place to visit for neither tourists nor Georgians. Even though it sis very impressive with its gigantic bronze sculptures. The present regime is probably not so proud of the the soviet past of Georgia.
On the way down from the Reservoir we passed several cemeteries, one especially for military persons, judging from the old tank just after the entrance.
