Georgia - 2nd September 2017 - General Thread

Just wondering lads we are only arriving back on the Tuesday afterwards for Serbia game. But we will still have our grip backs from Georgia there wouldn't be a problem getting these into stadium would there? Or will they have to be left in a bar or something?

Time to panic..

Don't forget that the attackers really rubbed salt in when "finally they started to smoke". 

That was worse than pickpocketing.   

Any local football games to take in while over here? One night in Berlin, Kutaisi and four in Tbilisi plenty of time outside of the pub to kill.

There's also a funicular railway near the city centre. Didn't manage to try it out the last time but I'm sure it's worth having a look.

The sulphur baths are excellent. They're ancient and well worth checking out for a few hours. Great for the hangover. There's a few to choose from.

They have a zoo although I'm not sure how many animals they have left after a load escaped during flooding shortly after we were there. I think one of the escaped Tigers​ killed a member of the public.

Overall Tbilisi city centre is very nice and you could easily spend a day drifting around it. Mind you it's very hilly outside the city centre.

P.S. due to its strategic position the yanks have ploughed billions into Georgia. You'll see USAID badges on a lot of the new fancy buildings, cable car, bridges etc.

Uplistiskhe caves, Stalin museum Gori, day trip to Kazbegi, loads of options for day trips and things to do.

Some good tips here.

Them caves look quite cool, only concern would be bumping into ISIS training.
