Near Mestia Central Bus Station before leaving for Tbilisi


Got up and got ready, drank tea, packed my bags, checked-out from the hostel, and quickly walked to Mestia Central Bus station. I was there at 7:50 AM, kept my heavy backpack on the bus and took a window seat on the left side, bus departed from Mestia at 8 AM. Some people in the bus were going to Zugdidi and Kutaisi, the ride was beautiful, especially Mestia to Zugdidi part where the bus passes from the beautiful mountains.

The driver stopped for 15 minutes at two stops, the second one near a SOCAR filling station, I found it a little strange to see Georgia, Azerbaijan and the European Union flag put together, well you can see that at a SOCAR station in Georgia. Few people got down at Didube Bus station in Tbilisi, I got down at Samgori marshrutka station.

Walked to Samgori metro station, bought a MetroMoney card, took the metro and got down at Avlabari Metro station, when I came out of the Avlabari station I realized that my hostel would be closer If I got down at Liberty Square Metro station. So again I used the metro to reach Liberty Square metro station, it was just next stop. Booked a Yandex from Liberty Square metro station to my hostel, reached the hostel, checked-in, ate food, drank tea and took some rest.
