It’s been two days in the port city of Batumi. I have positioned myself in an apartment on the 23rd floor of a tall building. This morning, I stepped out to get some washing powder. There is a washing machine in my room, and I will have to do my own laundry and ironing for the next week or so.

I spent the entire afternoon doing my washing and ironing and the entire evening taking in the breathtaking view of the city through my camera. It was a stunning panoramic view from the top.

I decided to skip my tour around the city and informed Nino that I would be busy doing my assignments today. The lady was kind enough to help me out with my washing as I was a bit confused about how to use the washing machine. The knobs and the buttons felt a bit obtuse to me, so I got Nino to give me some advice through WhatsApp. I finally managed to get it right and finished all my washing for the week.

In the afternoon, I would take long walks in the park and enjoy eating sausages and hot dog rolls. I would then wash this down with a cola. To change my taste, I would have some boiled corn. I’ve been enjoying ice cream because it gets hot in the afternoon, and the ice cream cools me down.

While strolling around the park, I managed to sit with some elderly Georgian men who were busy playing a board game. It was fun watching them play and fight with each other at the same time like little children.

I will be spending a long time in this city and will start exploring it from tomorrow. Until then, enjoy some more of my pictures from the balcony of my room.
