Lisbeth and I took a weekend trip to Batumi. Batumi is a seaside city on the Black Sea coast and capital of Adjara, an autonomous republic in southwest Georgia. It has a population of 120,000.
We found a nice restaurant with a good view over the Black Sea where we could enjoy the sunset each evening. We took the marshrutka to the famous botanical garden of Batumi and enjoyed the lush vegetation and the nice views over the Black Sea.
Batumi, with its large port and commercial center, is also the last stop of the Transcaucasian Railway and the Baku oil pipeline. It is situated some 20 km from the Turkish border, in a subtropical zone, rich in citrus fruit and tea.
