Driving from Hopa to the border village Sarp with our Turkish tour car. The Turkish car has to stay in Turkey, as we are told that only pre-registered cars are allowed to pass. Anyway, the queue of cars waiting at the border is long.
Passing the border thus on foot - surprisingly modern Georgian border control facilities - the process of leaving Turkey and the immigration to Georgia takes a whole hour in total though.
On the Georgian side Kadir, or driver makes a deal with a Georgian taxi driver (btw. all Taxis seem to be Mercedes in Georgia), who will bring us to the castle, the botanical garden and back to the city center of Batumi.
