In the morning, after many hours spent on the bus I said goodbye to Turkey and crossed border to Georgia. From the border crossing Sarpi marshrutka for 2 lari (1 dollar is worth 2,55 lari) took me to Batumi – capital of Ajaria prowince. Brothers Georgians are friendly and hospitable but still chaotic and so not well-organized. I lost an hour to find my booked hostel just to recognized that my room is occupied… After another two hours they accommodated me in the other place.
Batumi nowadays looks great! Much bstter then in the post-soviet times when I was here for the first time!
There is a line of new hotels. along the pebble beach, dancing fountain and old quarter… But for today I have enough – I bough a flat Georgian bread for 1,50 lari and I need a rest after busy and tiring day! 🙂
