Waterfalls, walks and wines await visitors to the Ajara region of Georgia. It's just a half-hour drive into the lower Caucasus Mountains from Batumi airport. There are also fortresses and botanical gardens to keep happy visitors of all ages. 

Podcasters Mark and David serve up the sights, sounds and smells in their own inimitable way.
