News, went to Batumi which is located on the Black Sea. We took the night train at 10:30 on Friday and arrived at 7:00 am. We stayed at the Batumi Palace. Very nice place. Built in 1888 as a church and then destroyed in the early 30's, rebuilt in the late 30's as a hotel. Batumi is a port city and also a resort town, it was not the cleanest of resort towns, we didn't dare swim because it smelled like grey water, I guess it was due to the 3 'streams' located up and down the beach that flow from the city drains. We tried the local flavor, the BBQ pork was real good and the cheesy bread is always yummy. BATUMI beer, vomit in a bottle!!!! It made Heineken taste good if you can imagine. We walked around the city on Saturday night but quickly realized that there was not much to look at except Mr. Book Maker gambling halls just puking cigerette smoke into the street. Most of us spent Sunday next to the pool, accepting crazy stares from people who had possibly only seen an american on TV. Overall it was an okay time. You can scratch it off of your 'To do' list though, you won't be missing much.
