Newly re-opened aerial tram. View from the city of Tbilisi.

The Georgian capital of Tbilisi used to be home to an intricate system of aerial trams, that whisked people from lower elevations to the various hilltops around the city.

Most of these trams fell into disrepair following the collapse of the Soviet Union. One of these old tram stations recently re-opened. This tram connects Vake Park with the small Turtle Lake, which is located on a hillside above. 

You can even attach your bicycles to the tram (as is visible in this picture).

Good choice in Vake, but.....
Check-in was frustrating this time, because they clearly were not expecting us. English comprehension was very poor. I told her that I had reserved two rooms over a week before, but she insisted that I had no reservation. So I looked up my prepaid reservation on my phone and showed it to her. Even ...

We were very happy to stay in the hotel for 3 nights.
