The tourism season hasn’t started yet so finding accommodation is not a problem. An Abkhaz man named Miron lives in a house with his family and also offers travellers accommodation in the couple of free rooms they have. There’s a large roofed terrace in the yard with a kitchen and tables. Here, the family and guests communicate and socialize. The room costs 2000 rubles (35 euros) a day.
Since the beginning of our stay here, we are surprised by our hosts’ hospitality. Miron offers us homemade red wine and snacks and spends a good share of his time talking to us about the war and relationship between Russians and Georgians. He has quite a lot to say, because he fought in the war and got badly injured. When we ask about restoring the relationship between Abkhazs and Georgians, he does not believe this will happen. He will never forget the war, maybe his children or grandchildren will, he adds. Our conversation is listened by his 12 year old son Hashcha, who adds that he won’t forget either.
