A little luck in Batumi

Arriving this morning at 6.30am at the end of the line at Makhinjauri I had little idea of how to get to Batumi or where to stay. As luck would have it, I crammed into a mini-bus heading to Batumi and a young bloke asked me where I was going. This is how I met my local fixer. Irakli is 16 years old and has recently returned from a year in South Carolina and speaks fantastic English. I hired him immediately on the spot!
