Three thousand years of history are depicted on 16 massive pillars reaching 115 feet (35 meters) into the sky. Welcome to The Chronicles of Georgia, a gigantic monument offering fantastic views over the city and Tbilisi’s “sea.”
Especially in winter, it’s always a gamble whether you’ll make it to Kazbegi when driving the Georgian Military Highway. The road often gets closed without warning. My tour from Tbilisi to Kazbegi starts with a flat tire and ends… nowhere near Kazbegi. And yet, I still had an amazing day!
It’s quite the tongue-twister: Uplistsikhe, the abandoned cave city in central Georgia. It’s one of the oldest settlements in the Caucasus region. This city, carved into the rocks, reminds me of a lunar landscape and the Flintstones all at once! Uplistsikhe is easy to visit, and I’ll tell you all about it.
It is probably the most famous spa in the world: the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. I am hesitant about whether it is worth the money, but I decide to go anyway. I want to see it with my own eyes, and yes, the water is as really blue as in the photos. I am happy to tell you what to expect and how you can perhaps arrange a small discount on the Blue Lagoon.
Close your eyes and pay up. At least, that’s the strategy I use when I drink a coffee, order a cocktail, or go out for dinner in Reykjavík. Don’t think about it, because then I’ll spontaneously go on a diet. So yes, it’s expensive, but in Reykjavík, there are really nice coffee shops, bars, and restaurants that I simply don’t want to miss out on. So make your own selection and spend, spend, spend!
