Mtatsmindias

There is a giant ferris wheel up on the mountain.  We have been talking about going on it since we came 18 months ago.  When the Elders Quorum outing got changed because the sky tram was not running, they went up to Mtatsmindias a rode the ferris wheel.  E. Reese reported back that there was a big park area up on the mountain, so for our P-Day we headed up there so that I could check it out.  We went about 3 in the afternoon and found the right bus that took us right there.  When we got there we went to buy the tickets and found out that the ferris wheel was not running right then and they did not know when it would be.  This is very common for Georgia.  It was a very interesting park.  There were some rides and small restaurants.  We went to ride on the small train but they said they would not go until there were more people - we hung out for about half an hour and then gave up on that.  There were not a lot of people there - too hot!  We are going to try back in the cool of the evening sometime.

It was very spacious and open.  A nice fountain - lots of room.

The rides were spaced out - but most of them were not open.  This is a castle that is under construction.

Oh no - Dinosaurs - save me! (this is for my grand sons!)

Here is the looking up view of the 25th largest ferris wheel in the world and being on the top of the mountain makes it seem so much taller!

What a view.

 It was amazing that they had several WCs.  Of course I had to get my picture next to the RED girl!

Yes, I have had to adapt.  These are often found here in Tbilisi - even in some of the nicer places.
