People stand at a deserted Black Sea beach near the village of Choloki September 3, 2008. The Adamanti Hotel near Georgia's Black Sea coast was full of tourists in early August when war broke out between Russian and Georgian forces in South Ossetia to the northeast. But when Russian soldiers pushed into Georgia and moved towards the port of Poti, just 20 km (12 miles) up the coast, the tourists fled and now 30 of the hotel's 33 rooms are vacant.
