Day 154: Ureki to Batumi

​Last ride in Georgia 🇬🇪 

​We’ve finished our ride from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea with a quick spent down the coast to the port of Batumi. It has quite an impressive skyline, which I totally failed to capture on the journey in, so here’s a postcard photo.

The journey did involve one big climb on the way down, but as we created the hill we could see Batumi below us as we descended, so it was pretty spectacular. 

The next step is to get on a RO-RO ferry to Burgas in Bulgaria, but this seems like quite a challenge. The booking office is in the bottom of an apartment block and it’s only open on Mondays, when the ferry is in the port. So, we turn up tomorrow and everything should be fine, we book our cabin and we’re off to Bulgaria. If anything goes wrong, there’s only one ferry a week, so we’d be in for a long wait.  

Fingers crossed.
