Turkey in 5 mins.

Well I had to renew my 90-day visa for Georgia and the best way to do this is to leave the country and pop back in. Turkey is only 20 miles from Batumi and it was a nice day for a drive. I just told them I wanted to take pictures of Turkey, so I paid my $20 for the visa, was stamped out of Georgia and into Turkey. I got a lot of "an American!", "Honolulu, huh?", "Hey Chic-ago, gangsters"...

The long march into Turkey, still in between the border. Note the trail of trucks waiting to come into Georgia. Yes, the easiest way is to do this on foot. My friends waited for me on the Georgia side while I went in....


Took photos for 5 mins...
The road into Turkey again note the line of trucks. This stip of the coast was once part of Georgia. Many families were spilt up when the Soviet Union established itself in Georgia.


Looking back into beautiful Georgia.
Then...


Walked back in! I breathed a sigh of relief when they gave me the entry stamp!
