Remains after the fire

Abastumani nunnery is settled in the Old Russian Tsar holiday house. Few years ago, the palace was set under the fire, reasons are yet unknown. Nuns managed to rebuild a little part of the house. The living conditions are not the most comfortable you can guess.

Fishing

We caught 3 little ones, and have let all of them free. A lovely day indeed.

Long boat trip to home

Taken on the way back from Prince's Island to Istanbul. It takes around hour and a half, and is rather tiring if making both ways in a day. Scenery and the islands are gorgeous of course.

Kids of the conflict geography

These kids are standing at the last Georgian school of Georgian-Abkhazian conflict boarder. Almost half of the students here have to cross the boarder and get through check-ins in order to attend classes in this Tskoushi school. The procedure is stressful and daunting as the kids have to deal with armed Russian boarder police.

Kettle in Snow

Only an hour drive from the dry, even warmish capital brought us to this snow in mountains. Just before the New Year's eve.
