Sukhumi botanical garden was created in the XIX century. During the war he suffered great losses - fell to the park more than a hundred shells. Immediately after the fighting ended collective garden started to recover. To this day, this place is one of the main attractions of Sukhum.





Inside we did not go, so I'm sorry, there is nothing to show. They say there is a 250-year-old Caucasian linden (3 m in diameter), which grew before the foundation of the garden. It cut the Turks broke the hurricane, but the tree is still standing, and sometimes even the flowers



Platform Guma. Former station Baratashvili, then stopping point Baratov.
The trains do not stop at the station.



To the right of the road leading up to Mount Trapeze (Abkhaz name Hathua).
There is another attraction - the famous monkey, created in 1927.
In this zoo you can see about 300 species of monkeys from Asia, Africa and South America.



Just someone's home, perhaps some well-known villa

Most of the railway in the city of Sukhumi laid above ground.
The overpass is built on just such columns in antique style.



We went back to the house with a pharmacy, about which we have begun inspection of Sukhum. The building is located almost opposite the station, a little diagonally. Part of the house is uninhabited, some residential apartments.



Go down the street Eshba from the station to the outskirts of town. We have seen these driving home on the bus, became interested and decided to return to the area. Almost all the buildings in the bullet holes. On the ground floor in this house as you can see no one lives.



This lodge was less fortunate ...



The building next to the hospital. All this is located on the street Eshba.



This attracted the attention of five-storey building. It was some shorter. And the edge as if picked. Strange ...



On the other hand the explanation presented itself - no one entrance. Perhaps the house hit by a shell.
Pokotsali dorushili entrance to the base, and in the rest of the house live as if nothing had happened.



Once it was someone's kitchen ...



The neighboring building. Old house overgrown dead.



And then a new building. Only somehow unsettled.



Around poluzaselennye home. Somewhere live somewhere there.
Generally I badly imagine how you can live next to an abandoned apartment.
This is at least unpleasant, and at best terrible.



Bullet holes, ruined balconies. Remember, the war ended 16_let_nazad.



In one of the houses hanging is such a granite plaque



Here we met Uncle Tolia. He asked where we are, why we take pictures of what interests us. Word for word, a conversation, and he launched into memories. A lot of things said.



Then he showed us this house. There is also a monument.



Two brothers. Teen.



Then we have to experience for yourself the hospitality Abkhazians
"For acquaintance", "yesterday pressed wine", "on track", "Alik, pour guests with a", "Here, take the grapes," etc.



As soon found out that we want to go to the memorial on the river Gumista immediately found a second cousin's nephew stepbrother neighbor who "just down the road." We planted the bridge, which I'll discuss in the next post. This has removed an abandoned house on the road from the car window. Outskirts of Sukhum. Beautiful mountains.
It was the capital of Abkhazia - the city of Sukhumi. The ancient Greeks called it Dioscuria Romans - Sebastopolis Georgians - Tskhum Turks - Sukhum-Kale. The locals call their city Akua.
