Georgia

Today’s highlight was Tskaltubo, one of the destinations that I saved in Google Maps quite early. It’s a partly abandoned city, famous for its Sanatoriums. Especially during the Soviet era it was used by the party, including Stalin himself. After the fall it was mostly abandoned because of the lack of finance and so everything started to collapse and nature captured it back.

Visiting the different buildings was a quite cool experience, but also a bit sad because in some of the buildings there are still people living in quite horrendous conditions.
