There was no light in the caves and a very bad smell - Eka thought that hell would be like this.

11 – 12 August 2010 we (some of my colleagues on the project and I) made a weekend trip to Kutaisi . Kutaisi is Georgia's second largest city and the capital of the western region of Imereti. It is 221 west of Tbilisi.
We wanted to visit a part of the a karst area at a height of 1000 meter, and some caves outside Kutaisi. Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite. The fact that the bedrock is soluble result often in impressive landscape formation and the creation of caves.
We started early in the morning from Tbilisi in heavy rain, but during the long drive the weather gradually improved.
We had a nice weekend looking at Kutaisi and the Karst formations both above and below the ground.
