My day 3 in #Georgia country: visited from #Jvari #monastery; #Shio monastery; #Samtavro monastery; #Mtskheta city; #Svetitskhoveli #cathedral; #freedomesquare; #clockleaningtower; #puppet #theatre

At 10:00 in the morning rode to Jvari (means #Cross) monastery. It is located at the rocky mountaintop that confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers. There you can see the Mtskheta town (overlooking). It is listed as UNESCO World Heritage site.

About 32 minutes of approx 23.8km from Jvari, we rode to #ShioMgvime monastery but it was closed that time due to lenten season. Shiomghvime means 'the cave of Shio'; Shio means priest.

So instead there, we went to Samtavro a 4th-century built monastery and there is a cemetery as well. There you can see the burials of King Mirian and Queen Nana at the entrance of the monastery.

Next we went to Mtskheta city and roamed the souvenirs market. Then we proceed to Svetitskhoveli Cathedral - just a walking distance from the market. Svetitskhoveli cathedral is the 2nd largest church in Georgia in terms of building next to the Holy Trinity cathedral (Sameba). There you can find many tombs of kings and leaders buried inside the cathedral. Svetitskhoveli means the 'Cathedral of the Living Pillar'. Also known as the burial site of Christ's mantle and listed as #UNESCO #World #Heritage #site.

For lunch, went to #Salobio #restaurant and ate #lobio with Georgian #cornbread. It was nice one of Georgia's traditional #foods. There I met a Filipino who at first I thought the guy is a Japanese. hehe, they were great - thank you both of you. Thank you too to Miro for introducing this food to me. For my blog about the traditional food I tasted during my visit in Georgia you check in this link:

In the afternoon, back to hostel then I roamed the old Tbilisi by myself. I was looking for the leaning clock tower or the Rezo Gabriadze Theatre. But this time I didn't made it to witnessed the puppet show it's daily schedule is only twice a day by 12nn & 7pm. Been to freedom square and found a catholic church just few minutes walk from the hostel.
