A day at the lake

A day at the lake

Tbilisi has been little cold in the previous days, but yesterday the sun was going to come back in the sky; waking up quite late in the morning, without any plan in our minds, we decided to have a walk in the market to buy something. Not far from our house is Machakhela, probably the best place where you can eat good georgian food for very few [...]

A new trip to Tbilisi

A new trip to Tbilisi

I can't believe I'm sitting here, in such place, writing this post; yes, because from the very beginning, everything seemed to be going to be terrible - a sort of attempt by the destiny to avoid our trip to Tbilisi. It was long ago when me and my friend Anna decided to spend some time in my favorite country, sharing a flat and an experience [...]

A day at the hospital

A day at the hospital

Lazy day today, at home, listening music, having rest, preparing some lunch and looking the horrible hot outside the window: no way to go out with such weather, better to wait and have a nice evening then. And so it was: plan was to meet Mzika to give her some things and then go to pizzeria with some other friends. I had a nice walk in the crazy [...]

The first day in Tbilisi

The first day in Tbilisi

Malpensa airport, Milano, 4:25pm. More than one hour is missing to the flight to Istanbul, first step to go to Tbilisi. Nothing better than buying a book to read to avoid getting mad waiting and the Da Vinci Code is the choice. Actually, I've read it already, but in italian, so it will be a good exercise to improove my english. Waiting is not such [...]

Everybody wants to know Italian

I am not getting used of the georgian timezone at all: I still wake up quite late and go to bed in the deep night and today my day started in the afternoon. Using the bus to go to the downtown, in the famous Rustaveli avenue of Tbilisi, lets me save a lot of money: it seemed harder, but once you are able to read a bit of georgian the problems [...]

Back in the U.S.S.R.

After several days feeling bad for the flu, the time to take the flight to Georgia has come. This time is different, since I am flying with Turkish Airlines: Milano-Istanbul-Tbilisi. photo:3152399343(small)photo:3153236482(small) I arrived at the airport quite early, since nobody was in the street on December 26th; I supposed not many [...]

Spring in Georgia

Second time in Georgia, this time in Spring; departure from Milano Malpensa. I was lucky not to lose my flight, because from my town to the airport I found lot of traffic and I arrived just 5 minutes before the check-in closure. The first flight, from Milan to Wien, was in time; then I had to wait about two hours in Wien for the second one: [...]

New Year’s day in Georgia

First time for me for a travel alone; and first time in a place that almost nobody in Italy knows: Georgia, also known as Saqartvelo by georgians. This wonderful country is situated on the East of the Black Sea, under the Russia; it was part of the U.S.S.R. and became independant on 1991. The beginning of the trip was good: it was the first time [...]
