I visited Georgia in December 2019 when I returning home to Pakistan. This trip took me around 2 months and I travelled all by road, passing through Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Iran.

In Georgia I only stayed for 3 days. I spent the first night in Batumi, which is close to the border with Turkey.

I arrived in late afternoon and first bought a SIM card (name?) and then headed straight to my Airbnb.

The owner of the house was a very kind old lady who offered me tea and nice litte snacks. During the night there were lots of fireworks but I didn’t take any pictures.

The next day I visited two museums. The first was an archaeological museum which showcased numerous artifacts.

Afterwards I wanted to visited another cultural museum but it was very far off. Although there is public transport in Batumi it was difficult to understand which one to take, but I finally managed in the end.

I spent around an hour(?) exploring this place and then headed back into the city.

On my way back I was through some road-side market to see how the city outskirts looked like.

The city center of Batumi is very well-maintained and charming.

Right next to the seaside there is a monument call Eva and Abe(?).

Georgia has amazing and unique-looking breads! From what I noticed most breakmakers in the region were Jewish, so it could be a family-run business.

The day after I left for Kutaisi located X kilometers from Batumi. Since this was the first newyear day all trains were free, no matter the destination!

Although the train I took to Kutaisi was old, I saw this new modern looking train which was headed for Tbilisi.

Kutaisi is a historical city and I had planned to visit lots of museums there, but sadly they were all closed due to the new year.

Instead I walked around in the city, but there wasn’t a lot to see.

I found there was an old monastery atop a hill about X kms from the city, so I booked a taxi and went there.

This made my trip completely worth it. This monestary was build in X AD and was exremtely well preserved.

It overlooked the city from the top.
