What about some wine from Georgia?



In the afternoon we arrived in Hopa which is very close to Georgia so we decided to go to Batumi and buy some famous Georgian wine. We caught a ride straight to Batumi. On the border I had a nice talk with a border policeman. He recommended me to see Kaczynski blvd in Tibilisi.
Batumi is very pleasant, i must admit it looked better than Odessa. It felt very European. We agreed with Martin that its atmosphere reminded us of our own countries from the early 90s.




We spent the night near the beach. We wanted to sleep on the grass, because there were only stones on the beach. Unfortunately, the rain woke us and we moved to a nearby bower. Sometime during the night three men woke us to tell us that we should go away but when they saw our tired faces, they let us stay.
In the morning we moved to the beach, walked around the city and bought some wine, beer and Georgian tea. Then we hitchhiked back to Turkey with a very nice woman who spoke Russian. I tried to communicate with her but my Russian wasn't very good.
