While waiting for the sun to come out, I took a walk along Batumi's promenade to the south. After a while, the park runs out and is replaced with huge tower blocks, quietly rusting away. A couple of the buildings used to be hotels, but are now filled with refugees from Abkhazia and look squalid and depressing. The promenade is being extended, and a park being constructed, which will hopefully make the area look a little less bleak...but for now you can admire some of the colourful grafitti in between the grotesque blocks of flats.
