Not a photo worth sharing I\u2019m afraid.  We walk up a little further and find a tiny doner cafe. The Georgian version of what we call a doner kebab is made with lavish bread rather than Lebanese bread. More filling less bread, it was perfect for lunch at (12GEL or A$7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After lunch we visit a farm house with a 23m high tower coming out of the middle of it. It was a bit of fun and interesting to see how the families lived with their animals for 6 months of the year, the winter is long in Mestia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"38769\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-scaled.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-570x428.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-1320x990.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2256-2731x2048.jpeg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A fox, bear and badger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2255-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"38768\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2255-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2255-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2255-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2255-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2255-scaled.jpeg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"38767\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2259-scaled.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2257-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"38766\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2257-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2257-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2257-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2257-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2257-scaled.jpeg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Our guide recommended going to the movies this afternoon.
