It might have been cold, but I quickly warmed to Minsk!
Sunday Spotlight – Batumi, Georgia
Yes, another Sunday, another ‘Spotlight’, and today we’re heading to Georgia and its second (or maybe third) city of Batumi. It sits on the eastern edge of the Black Sea, and has a population of 155,000 or so (so not particularly big). However, it is pretty much Georgia’s second city, and it is by far …

I thought it was a very worthwhile stop in Peru, much more pleasant than Lima, and although …
