It turns out that the early night in Sumela wasn't so early after all as a laptop was stolen and we ended up calling the police. Amount 12 of the army turned up, guns and all. It turns out that they met Darrell and Ned at the monastery earlier. All was sorted in the morning as the laptop mysteriously reappeared.
So it was smiles all round we headed to the Georgian border and onto Batumi. We thought the border would cause problems but we were all through it in 30 minutes and we met up with our local guide Zaza. Batumi, apparently is a top tourist destination for the Georgians. I don't quite believe that as it was a building site. We didn't get far through the town so stopped on the 'prom' for drinks. Saw dolphins playing just off shore which was pretty cool.
Our accommodation for the night was a ship hotel which was really fun. We had dinner plans in a ship restaurant (they like their boats here!). 25 of us to the table and a huge mass of food which keeps coming. Food was Delicious, toasts made, dodgy dancing and cheap wine. Good night had by all!
