Day 11 Sunday Oct 26, 2025 (Kutaisi & Mestia, Georgia) - spent the morning doing a walkabout near Colchis Fountain, Kutaisi Central Square & ended in Green Bazaar buying fresh vegetables ie lettuce, mushrooms etc. As our next destination is Mestia, a highland townlet in north west Georgia, we departed Kutaisi at around 11.00 & arrive in Mestia at around 17.30, wet & cold hence no outing at night after our hotel check-in in Mestia !
