Going to Georgia: great idea!
Georgia is the place where:
- passport control staff (female, young, pretty) gives you the nicest possible welcome to the country
- the first supermarket you enter stocks German müsli and Czech beer
- the first bar you enter plays old The Cure records !
- the hostel water boiler has music in it
The only downside I have seen so far: as soon as Georgian enter a car (preferably big old Mercedes or BMW) they seem to develop a sudden urge to kill everyone around including themselves. Up to now it did not really affect me, but driving habits are definitely much crazier than in Turkey.
Border crossing was easy - everyone really nice, no hassle at all.
Batumi is very relaxed. Not much going on in low season now. Still, it is a very nice seaside town - even the foible for disneyland-style multicoloured illumination does not do any real harm.
