A recap of day 3 in Mandalay and a view of the city from out guesthouse rooftop.
You know — just chopping some wood in the mountains. Best form of exercise and relaxation. ) Featured here on the grounds of our lovely Tusheti guesthouse – Mirgvela, set on top of a hill about 3 kilometers away from the large village of Omalo (where most visitors stay).
A visit to the Istanbul Archeology Museum is a must – fascinating artifacts dating back 5-6 thousand (!!) years ago, uncovered as recently as a few years ago when the city began construction of Marmaray rail link under the Bosphorous.
Hanging out on lake Egirdir — this beach is right outside of Charly’s pension where we stayed. A wonderful retreat it was )
More stairs — the never ending stairs on Mt Emei. Day 2 of the 3-day, 54-km hike.
Walking route to Jvari church from Mtskeheta turned out to be super simple – despite the guidebook threatening us with a hard and tedious trek. Totally worth it too considering taxis were trying to charge something ridiculous like $10. Views are a bonus )
