Kus Tba, or Turtle Lake, is a little lake in Tbilisi. It is in the city, but so far up in the mountainside that the city noises aren't audible here. There is a nice promenade around the lake and in the summer you can hardly move here because it is completely overcrowded. It was clearly manicured during the communist era, as is obvious both from the main restaurant building, the existence of sport fields and playgrounds etc. There is also an amfi theatre in the far end of the lake, with an artificial scene on the water. There is also a footpath from the promenade leading to the ethnography museum, where one can a.o. see buildings from different regions of Georgia placed in the nature. Really nice, although I did not go there yet. We only saw a Svaneti tower from a distance.
Any path with a minimum of self respect has signs telling walkers where they are and where they'll end up if they take various directions. This was no exception. It is 2,200 km to Berlin, 2,400 to Waterloo and unknown distance to Stalingrad (Volgograd). Unfortunately I'm unable to read the signposts that are in Georgian...
