[Trip Report] Snow Wonderland – Georgia (Part 2)

This is part 2 of my Georgia trip report, feel free to check out my first part of the trip:

Itinerary: Kutaisi -(train)- Tbilisi – Kazbegi/Stepantsminda – Tbilisi

I’m a big train lover and I was not really in a hurry, so I chose the slower but more comfortable train.

Trip to Claude Monet’s Home and Gardens in Giverny

Monet noticed Giverny while looking out of a train window. Later he rented a house at the area. In 1890 he gathered enough money to buy the house and created the magnificent gardens he wanted to paint. I’ve seen many of his paintings he painted in the garden before, which made me want to visit Giverny one day. Claude Monet is not only a genius impressionist painter, but also a very talented gardener. His garden in Giverny is all gardeners’ dream. The gardens were filled with beautiful flowers. Some I had never seen before.
