Batumi, Georgia

Batumi is a popular tourist destination located on the Black Sea and Georgia's second largest city. It's a strange mash up of old Europe meets Las Vegas. We rented an apartment for a week so we could slow down and relax a bit.

Every morning we walked the seaside promenade from our apartment to the centre of town for coffee at Coffeetopia. It was all very civilized!
