Another awesome weekend has been in our tapes - this time we booked a Tbilisi - Batumi flight by Vanilla Sky (it's super cheap and takes only 50 minutes to get there), a 5-star Hilton Hotel with executive views + gym and saltwater pool access. Visited Green Cape + Botanical garden. Pink ice cream is still our favorite. Made a ton of hyper lapses and experimented with keyframing (fast forward in Adobe Premiere). Enjoy and thumbs up!

Day in Borjomi National Park - or we love to head here 2-3x times a year. Cool views, illegal dining in a secret restaurant, nice boutique apart-hotels, selfie-stick, trampolines, and of course a lot of mineral water. Decided to experiment with mobile + drone videography. What do you think? Should I do more like this? Drop me a comment!
