End of the batumi vacation

 The end of summer 2026 batumi vacation 

I didn't think i would be as sad as i am about this vacation ending. Batumi was really great. I hadn't been there in years. So many great places, all different kinds too! Some were more crowded then others, some felt kind of chaotic at times, others felt very calm. There were so many tall buildings and all of them would light up at night. Lots of casinos too! Going out at noon was my favourite. At noon i didn't have sun painfully scorching me and giving me a headache. I am glad my mom got me those necklaces and bracelet, they will be like a small reminder of this vacation. Same with the fridge magnets. I definitely want to go there again. 

We didn't have the bus booked so actually getting one was bit of a trouble. We went to the place where lots of busses stop, but the people there told us that no bus was leaving until 5pm. So we went somewhere else and actually got a bus. Grandma had to take a different one, which made me bit worried. I could feel the sadness creeping back into me as we went. I started tearing up when we drove past my village. I recognised that place so easily. I don't think i ever got over it. Then when we stopped for a brief moment. Others got some snacks and food. While mom was talking to me, i saw a stray dog. It was trying to get some khachapuri out of a trash bag, but it couldn't do it and that made me tear up. 

At this point i had cried two times. I felt so numb and sad. I started feeling psychically weak as well. When we arrived home, i could literally feel the agony. I don't really like this place. Won't write too much about it. But i really want to try and get out of the house more often. My biggest issue is the sun. I cant stand the heat, so maybe when it gets colder i can. I can't really write about anything more honestly. We just got home and my mom already got frustrated. I think this house just carries negative energy or something. I did miss my cat though. She had a bath two days ago, so she's looking extra clean! 

Anyways thank you for reading!! 

Bye byee.

Vacation in batumi 06

 Day 06

This day was the day when my grandmother was coming! We spend quite some time waiting for her, since the bus she was on was very slow. "You would think they were bringing the dead" she joked. Cant imagine how painfully slow her trip to us was. But to her all that mattered was that she was with us and thats all that made her happy. After we met up with her we called the taxi and went to the green cape. Before actually going in, others git hungry so we sat down to eat. I just drank black tea. It had been a long time since I've had a black tea. It also came with two small slices of lemons, which of corse i ate. I love eating lemons, i think i might like it more than oranges honestly! After eating those two slices, i was debating on asking for more. After we finished, we finally got the tickets. My grandma thought it was 25₾ a person, but it was actually just 10₾. It was 25 for foreigners and it was around 2-4 for students (which was the cost for me and my brothers tickets). We got the tickets and started walking. The place was full of plants and trees. The plants even had small notes explaining what they were and where they were from, which was interesting. Me and brother kept walking faster than my mom and grandma, we had to stop every now and then to see if they were getting closer. After some minutes of walking my grandmother had to go back, to get her bag. She told us to keep going and that she would wait for us. We kept walking. There were so many adorable benches. Would have been cute to take some pictures there! But i was too distracted by the nature and too shy to actually do it.

The dark cloud kept approaching and it soon started raining very faintly. Mom told us that we needed to go back. I was quite bummed about that. I actually really liked the place and definitely wish to visit it again. Only next time, i wish not to return in only 20 minutes! We went back down and saw grandma with my cousins mom. My cousins and their cousins were leaving soon and before they did my mom and grandma chatted with them. Getting a taxi to go back seemed a little difficult there, but after some time my mom managed to get it and we went back home. I was willing to go out again that day. Since my mom and grandma wanted to swim and i didn't mind going out because the sun was already gone, i really thought we would. But we didn't. 

I feel like this day wasn't as interesting. The green cape was really cool, i am just little sad i didn't get to fully experience it. I hate that i was rushed out of it, i wasn't scared of the rain, but oh well. I also want to mention again that i post these a day late, so this all happened on 23.08.2026! Anyways thank you for reading!! 

Bye byee.

Vacation in batumi 05

 Day 05

I started this da without going to the beach. At this point my mom is wondering why i came. I just cant handle the sun, the people, and for me at least its very uncomfortable. At noon we went to see the planes land. We saw about 2 or 3 planes land. The planes flew over our heads and landed in front of us. My mom said ths moment was very emotional and she even mentioned getting a little scared when the planes approached. Whenever the planes would approach i would cover my ears. People around us were all taking pictures and my mom managed to take some too. When the second plane was approaching and my mom was trying to take photos, some shirtless man blocked the view. My mom tried calling him, be he either ignored us or didn't understand because he was russian. But i am sure that dick was just ignoring my mom because she called him "mister". We got so pissed. Me and my mom kept cussing him out. No one can say that it wasn't on purpose, he was just stupid enough to block the view. There was so much space, he could have stood somewhere else. That annoying man was wearing tight swim shorts as well. Gross! Basically could see all his junk if you looked for more than a second. I feel bad for getting angry, but i cant stand such unaware, stupid people! After that we went to the park again. My brother got the watch necklace he wanted. Which looks very cool and gorgeous. I got a pink heart necklace. 

Which is adorable! I unfortunately couldn't find a good pink bead bracelet. The best places to find these bracelets are at churches and Subways! Maybe i will be able to find them some time soon. After walking around we sat down to watch the fountains dance yet again. When walking home we came across a dude performing with fire. We had seen him multiple times already, and each and every time we did, my mom would get annoyed. Places where this man would perform would stink of gasoline and he would often be surrounded with crowds of people. The city at night is gorgeous. The tall buildings beautifully light up at that time! The streets are packed with people at that time. I often find myself looking at those people. Its interesting how everyone dresses.

I would write more, but anyways thats all for this day. Thank you for reading!! 

Bye byee.

Vacation in batumi 04

 Dayn 04

I thought this day wouldn't be worth writing about, but i am so glad i was wrong! I still didn't go to the beach in the morning. For some reason these two mornings i keep getting a headache. Of course my mom didn't like that. We stayed at home for quite a while and then mom came home with some food. After we ate, we decided to go out. The noon sun wouldn't burn me anymore so i wasn't worried. We also decided to buy some snacks and water. I got the milk soda, which had an adorable little prince drawing, also those satellite candy (or wafers) and my brother just got a pineapple juice. I tasted the pineapple juice and to me it was terrible! The milk soda tasted like medicine, so i just gave it to my mom. The satellite candys were amazing of corse. I loved the thin cardboard texture it had and the sour powder inside it. Mom didn't like it though, just me and my brother did. Walking around felt nice of course. We went through a park and it was beautiful there! There were lots of beautiful small statues. One of them was a fairy! And near her was a sort of cafe, that was green and genuinely looked like a fairy cafe. After getting through the park we went to the beach side, where we saw "ali and nino". We also saw lots of boats! Some boats were super cool looking.

We went back home through park and then by the beach side. I reminded mom about the fridge magnets i wanted to buy, to keep as a memory. We got three magnets! They look very cute. I also wanted some jewellery. Like i mentioned before, there are many stands around with people selling all sorts of things, such as tote bags, hats, bracelets, fridge magnets, necklaces, some handmade things and many more. I wanted a bead bracelet but the lady who we bought the magnets from didn't have the kinds i liked, so instead i got a pucca shell necklace! Which i love and i actually want another one. I also got a teal rock bracelet, which looks adorable. I still want to get a light pink bead bracelet and maybe a necklace. I thought i could get some small gifts for my friends as well, maybe like bracelets in their favourite colours. That would be very cute. My brother also wanted a necklace, a watch necklace. It was cute but wasn't working for some reason, so the lady selling it said that we could go tomorrow, when her husband would be around to make the watch work. 

Thats all for this day! Thank you for reading!!

Vacation in batumi 03

 Day 03

This day started with my mom going to the beach. This time she went alone, since neither me or my brother wanted to go. I felt bad letting her go alone to be honest, but she got to meet with my cousins and their mom. So she wasn't completely alone which calmed me down a bit. Me and my brother spend the morning watching harry potter. It was fun and at some times we couldn't stop laughing. I for some reason couldn't take Voldemort seriously. He looks like a turtle and doesn't really act as scary as he could. Watching harry potter once again, only makes me wonder if the books are better. Although from what i have heard, the author sucks. After some time my cousin called my brother and asked him to go to the beach. My brother was hesitant and lazy about it, but after taking a shower he still went. Not sure how long it went, maybe an hour maybe more, but after that my mom came home and told me to get ready. I took a shower and got dressed. I did cry a little over the amount if hair i was loosing, but my outfit did look cute. I also out on my wedge sneakers (i think they are sneakers? Maybe), which practically can be considered high heels. I loved wearing them as always. After that me, my mom, brother and younger cousin went to the fish market! People there kept calling us in russian, for a minute i thought they were russian, but apparently they thought we were russians. This kinds of things keep happening to us, its very weird. There were many kinds lf sea creatures, even the ones i didn't expect. The fish market was so overwhelming though. It was full of people and you could feel the intensity in the small crammed area. So me and my little cousin waited outside, while my brother and mom got the sea food. My cousin asked me how much i weighed and got surprised, then he tried to grab side of my body while saying how thini was. I didn't think he would point such a thing out or care about it. In a way thats concerning. My mom and brother got some shrimp, two baby octopuses, i think clams as well, some fish, calamari and a small lobster. I tasted one of each. I didn't eat much because i didn't really want to, but it was so interesting! 

I am so glad i finally got to taste shrimp! I wanted to taste them for so long. I am very grateful that i actually got to taste these creatures, all thanks to my mom! Most things tasted kind of rubbery, but i didn't mind that texture. If anything i liked it. After that we just went home and sent my cousin home (with his mom of corse). Then went to sleep while watching harry potter, once again. 

Thats all for this day! Thank you for reading. 

Bye byee.

Vacation in batumi 02

 Day 02

Second day started quite rough. After we all woke up, mom instantly told us to get ready for the beach. I was still kind of cranky from the day before, so i didn't want to go. Mom got really mad at me. I decided to take a shower and wash my hair, after doing that i still ended up going to the beach. Just like the day before, we got the small umbrella but this time the lounge chairs. Which of corse, were uncomfortable. I still didn't get in the sea, i just kept reading my book. After some time my mom went to get some food and got us protein puddings and one of my favourite curd snacks. My mom and brother ate the protein puddings, i just gave them s taste. The banana and tofu pudding didn't taste good for me, it had s very artificial banana taste, i think if i were a person that liked that kind of taste, i would have liked it. Second one i tasted was the cappuccino mousse one. It wasn't bad, i just wouldn't reach for it. After few hours we went home and i bought some more protein puddings and an almond coconut curd snack. The almond coconut curd snack was amazing, but the strawberry white chocolate pudding was not so good. It had an artificial taste just like the banana one, so i just gave ut to my brother. So far the only protein pudding i like is the chocolate one! We stayed home for some time and then at noon we went to walk around. We went to the mall for few minutes, but the things there were ugly and expensive. 

After watching the fountains dance for few minutes, we went to the beach. The beach at night is very calming! I think talking photos there at night would be very cool. We stayed there for some time and listened to the sea. I also kept looking at the tall buildings taht kept light on and off. At the end my stomach started to hurt but we were already going home, so it was okay. When we got home, we turned on the tv and watched Ratatouille! We also started watching harry potter. It was fun being reminded of these movies. I almost forgot to mention that we also did go to a restaurant, in the day time. But honestly i didn't really eat anything there and it was somewhat irrelevant to my day.

Thats all! Thank you for reading. I have to post these a day late, but thats okay! 

Bye byee

Vacation in batumi 01

 Day 01 

We went to batumi from my village. Before going there me, my brother and mom spent three days in village with my grandma and godmother. I always enjoy being around them and being in village as well. Although, i have to admit, the first day i always struggle. I guess that's just how i am, i need at least a day to get used to change of environment and to stop complaining. Anyways, we woke up early and waited for the bus we booked to get on. After about 20-30 minutes, we got on the bus. After some time an unexpected thing happened. Something happened to the bus. I am not quite sure what, but it couldn't move anymore! The man pushed it to the nearest bus stop and the bus driver told everyone to get on the other bus. I think he called the other bus driver or he just happened to be near that area. We got on the new bus and mom said, that she thought this one was nicer. To be honest even the bus driver deemed lot more nice. We actually arrived in batumi after maybe 3 hours. By then my head was hurting and i genuinely didn't wish to do anything. Mom was also very tired. We ate some food and then decided to go to the beach. Mom and my brother ate some lobiani and khachapuri (if you don't know what these are they are Georgian foods, lobiani is basically a pastry or a flatbread with mashed spiced bean filling and khachapuri is instead filled with cheese.), i just ate a protein pudding. I had seen this pudding before, but i had never tried it. I tried the chocolate one and it was amazing! While we were buying food, i noticed some boy staring at me! I usually assume when people stare or look at me, that they are looking at something behind me or near me, not actually me. But this boy was definitely staring and it was so obvious. My mom said she also noticed that. I got uncomfortable because i was wearing a top with a chest window. The beach by then was already somewhat full. We did managed to get a spot though. All lf the beaches i have been to were full of rocks, this one included. I genuinely wonder what a sandy beach is like. We layed our towels down on the rocks and layed down. I asked mom for the umbrella, while continuously applying sunscreen all over my body. I do not want to tan whatsoever. We got a tiny umbrella! Since for some reason, the bigger one is 50₾...no thank you. I genuinely wonder, who else but tourists actually pays that for a spot.

My mom decided to go swim around, while my brother stayed with me, scrolling on phone...he also kept the shirt on. I wish his shirt at least hadn't been black. But i understand him, he's just growing and going through an awkward phase. I didn't go swimming, i mean I don't really know how to swim. I just didn't feel like going into the water at all. I just read my book, the "virgin suicides". Reading a book on the beach is fun, but bit uncomfortable, mostly because of the rocks. We of corse, stayed there for few hours and then went back home to shower and rest. Then at noon we decided to go see the fountain's dance! I put on my thrifted top with a chest window, my flared jeans, my earrings and put my hair in a pony tail, which made me feel very cute. We were just walking around by the beach, admiring everything and i was genuinely having a good time! There were many small stands with jewelry, tote bags, hats, crochet toys, toys in general and many other things. Then my mood got ruined. Every time we go on a vacation my mom mentions how she doesn't want to meet up with anyone, and that she wants to actually rest and relax. I agree with her, sometimes yes, it is nice to hang out with people. But, there are some times, when you don't really wish to meet up with anyone and thats okay. While we were walking around, my cousin's mother kept calling my mom and trying to meet up with us. I kept begging my mom not to do it and she said that she wasn't planning on actually meeting them, so i was under the impression that we weren't actually meeting with them. Of course we actually did end up meeting. I wasn't happy about it. My cousin and her mom and her cousins are loud people. Of course nothing is wrong with that! But at times i dont want to be around loud people. I also am not the biggest fan of my cousin's cousins, for few reasons. While we were hanging and watching the fountains dance my stomach started hurting. After some time we went home. I am just little sad that my mood got ruined. I am kind of upset that i can't be alone with my family. Why can't it be just us? At times even us feels like too many people. 

This was day one (19.08.2026), unfortunately i will have to post this late but that fine. Also i do have few goals for this vacation! These goals are: 1. Dont get tanned, 2. Collect some seashells, 3. Take at least 2-3 pictures, 4. Buy another bead bracelet or a necklace, 5. Buy a fridge magnet. Thats all! Thank you for reading.
