The road went up, up and up, and the effort was close to what I am able to handle. But I succeeded, with many nice views on the tough road up and easy way down.
On my way out of town I passed several cemeteries, where people were very busy tidying up the graves.
I am always impressed by the Georgian gravestones.
Much of the way uphill was through the village Nafetvrebi.
Half of the houses was deserted or never finalised, and I saw very few people - a very strange feeling, like a ghost town or after a war.
Difficult to explain why, the village was only half an hour drive from Tbilisi centre and the houses had fantastic views.
A nice small mountain stream -
- the perfect place to throw your garbage.
Georgian architects does not seem to be involved in the design of many of the countryside houses
Lise Lake and Tbilisi reservoir
It was very hard on my legs to cycle uphill. But I also got managed to get higher than on other cycle trips. Here I look down at the Tbilisi reservoir (centre) and Lisi Lake, two places that Vlado and I have visited on our bikes: When we went there I found it rather challenging, but on this trip I got far higher up.
The area around Tbilisi is rich in deep gorges and steep mountain ridges, which divides the town
Around Tbilisi you find many areas with soviet concrete blocks
Spring is in the air
