Signahi

This is an okay town. The main section is renovated very nicely, and the surrounding town is quite nice too. Hotels are expensive, as are the restaurants, but you can self cater and get by okay. It was cold, and we had a nice snowstorm, which I liked. I also hired a car to go to Davit Goreja Monastery, which I have very badly misspelled, I am sure. It was spectacular and well worth the expense.
Sucker for a windblown, frozen street sign.

You can climb the mountain the monastery is dug into and get some nice views.
