Fiolent


frost on the street and my heart warms the summer of 2010 that I spent in Cape



past summer was noble in terms of heat! poor Muscovites ...
That drank their share last year. From St. Petersburg to Moscow by train, woke up in the car is already an unpleasant burning smell came out on Peron - generally not possible to breathe.


5 in the morning.


in Metro slabozametnaya haze is present.

course Peter was more fortunate in this regard, we have only
heat and everything, but Moscow was struck by disaster. Also
vivid impression left, then somewhere around 10 am the sun rose
and even possessed me to look at him, but she did not blind the eyes, not looking squinting + Color
bright brass liked.

I to the end and did not believe that we will fly from Moscow to Simferopol - the visibility is zero.
Flight delayed an hour, but when We have taxi for taxiing and got in line for takeoff, the mood is sharply risen. Ukrainian pilots lads picked up the liner into the air by 1:20 and we were from Simferopol overboard 21 (while in Moscow and St. Petersburg all +30). From our hotel, our car was waiting for 200UAH. from the airport to our hotel. Arrived - were settled - formed sleep.

Our hotel was called "Eagles Nest" it is located almost on the precipice of coastline. Choice of location fell not by chance, friends praised it place very much - expectations were met by 100%.

If you come to the precipice, the Vidocq such

rock phenomenon with the Holy Cross



When we book a room at all of our questions she answered in the affirmative:
-wifi?
-Yes!
-pool?
-Yes!
-eatery with food?
-Yes!

in general, everything is fine, except that when we come down to questions about the beach of the sea, then a girl's voice was replaced by anxious (I was too tense):

-you know, we all conditions to have a good holiday, there is only one "but" we have 800 stairs to the sea!
I went blurted out: "And Che? Yes me a minefield! Book our room." Of course, because you have to bow leave you counting the days to the sea, they even work properly and can not because of the endless stream of thoughts about how you'll be basking in the sun and in the sea, sipping excellent Crimean wine .... At that time I really though a minefield - I did not care ...

normal hotel, meals, too, have a good parking at the hotel, by the way of the numbers, there were all - from Kiev, from St. Petersburg from Moscow, from Belarus ... in general, people who knew) (Guarded)

breakfast and went to sea. Come started down the stairs, thus . Steps are somewhere gouged from the rock, somewhere is made up of blocks of the same rock where there are simply made of solid boards made a huge step.











In general descent with a very beautiful scenic views at an angle 45 degrees, as stated in the information plate, along the way offer a cold drink for Hibiscus 2grn - a glass, buy all suvenirku, try the local pastries за 2,5 грн.

Спуск занял минут 10-15 когда мы спустились у меня первый раз в жизни коленки тряслись. "Вот это спустились, так спустились" подумал я тут же обрадовался and then sad - was delighted that the sea is at 4 feet away from me, and saddened by the fact that the hotel is eight hundred steps away from me ...
In general, these 800 stairs is hell hell, but on the second day I took them as something normal and go through one step, calmly without losing breath.


poor dog

crown descent was "Jasper Beach"






himself beach, rock Crest

In terms of brick-busting action that offers, it's not sama hudschy option - 1 slide, 1 - cafe 2 - quads and everything! (On the other beaches, painting a 7 slides, 17 cafes, 20 quadrics and a bunch of "baklava, katran-Matrei, hot corn, fresh crabs, cold beer") ie indeed lie bought and just breathe the sea air. The beach can accommodate about 100-200 people, one was depressed - not a single toilet - aaasche none. This is as it charges that the beach is still really wild ... As soon as the sea is not zhelteli do not understand ... but I was glad that, after a dusty town. Excellent water is clear, sharp stones (the beach still wild). If you swim along the rocks cross, then we can get to even more wild beach, where on average a day hanging out no more than 50 people. And all because sometimes with the territory idle vacationers kindly shoved duty ductile iron.



(it is worth noting that in the Crimea military bases / units, as fungi after the rain and the Russian and Ukrainian)

rock fragments









So we nakupalisya, nazagoralisya, naotdyhalisya and gets a pressing question:
-Come?
-Come ...

50 steps behind and in front of us another 750 steps.



once stopped to make camp and immediately noticed that the step is too smooth, good look Baaa! Well yes it is a typical flight of stairs made of concrete, ... how he was, God knows:


(miracles and only)

When climbing to the top of the pot with you, like water off a duck's back. After or in the shower or the pool. The first 3 days his legs were aching horror as .... but people are not accustomed to all the flea)

Decided day to make the rest of the "sea" (ie actual fact not from the sea, and from the stairs:)).
Come to Alupka in
Vorontsov Park and
eponymous palace .

Park is a beautiful and huge.




bare wood, no bark at his touch is very nice



eventually we came to the Palace, if I knew that there would be such a turn, then No way, would not go.
palace as a palace:










master what

Following are returning to the highway that would take the shuttle bus to Sevastopol on one of the little streets I saw the board:



Roerich's biography I read a lot about Kuindzhi and then to you - here He lived!

We Came to the highway, raise my hand (voice) or who does not stop once the machine, two car, twelfth, thirty ... I already have all again! Elah burns I need to get there and just something in the end vote for a clean experiment one hour and fifteen minutes of voting = 100 vehicles did not stop (we are only cars and only empty ie only the driver inside). What a joke this does not stop when asked? I was in total shock. I am willing to pay 150 USD. (As I have had with them) from Alupki to Sevastopol (this despite the fact that it is to go purely on the line - or to not turn, this despite the fact that the cruise fare for the bus 30grn. and this despite the fact that driving a 61 km (for the understanding of distance, it's like from Peter to Zelenogorsk, it's like from Moscow to Sergiev Posad)) yopto! nor Adin not stop! About the people ... took pity on me dear, kind God has sent a minibus to the Buzzard (and it still kagbe halfway), then another from the Buzzard to Sevatopolya caught (27 not stopped a motorist). lad Tell me what kind of a joke you have there? is this normal? I would be in St. Petersburg or Moscow, and 2 minutes and did not stand ... there are nerves ...

One evening while sitting on a bench outside the hotel and sipping Bastardo Black, hear footsteps, turn around - or anyone, again and again the steps of none, turned began to listen, I hear that it's not the steps, but something sheburshit down, look: what guests - the hedgehog - the first time I saw a hedgehog in normal conditions) are not prickly needles abdomen soft, not snorted:) cool creation:






good texture


only on the ground set, only the heel glittered)

Balaklava. Typical resort town of Port. Quay recalls Yalta, certainly less than many times, but the atmosphere exact same thing can be said about Sevastopol, the embankment is not Good - just about anything. We decided to swim in the sea.


poor kote

go out into the open sea







agreed with the director of a cafe on the night shooting (they own the whole territory of the beach), going to - camera, tripod, Light as a handbag fits, his case did not take, and took a lantern in his hand, and 800 overcome the dark stairs, my knees were shaking as the first time, sweat, so I decided a refreshing plunge in the night sea - came out in a sense.

began to take this shot:



suddenly feel on my foot touched something so warm and hairy, I have lights shining in his legs look, someone is already running away, caught up with turned out to be a cat, I did not expect to meet ...



make a break for companies that protects the bar, began to ask what you are coming from, were further dialogue, "but do me the same" ... the mood was and why not, nafotal guys sat down to rest, suddenly I heard again are already new ... once more all took off ... again sat resting in the dark listening to the sound of waves, suddenly from the depths of the sea there is a powerful a ray of light! I was so surprised stood gazing realized that someone was under water dives, to see crabs, or fish caught, there was again the guys from the bar, dumped on Baking stones, chips and tea in bottles, cigarettes, beer. "At the back up you are going to shoot all night:) thanks, from beer to cigarettes declined, and everything else uplel dinner) When finished, look at that "Nemo" through the night sailed MOB ode with a powerful flashlight, comes out of the depths of the sea and so outright: "ear going? crayfish be? marine gobies? My name is Nick. "





I'm not hungry - refused)

Pichal came - 800 with all the stuff, after an active night ... (and it is 4 per lift day) rose - inexpressible feeling - perspiration, legs shaking, his hands weakened, knocking in his temples, rapid breathing, sushnyak mouth ...

Sevastopol. Honestly the city did not like it. In particular embankment. Somewhere in 2004 I was in Yalta and in my mind sunk Quay Yalta - now a move, here is the energy (in the daytime, at night). In general, limited to a trip to Chersonese :




in the center of the photo Vladimir Cathedral


coins with the words of a blacksmith, these are the coins went in the back about 5000 years ago from here and to Greece


nabrodivshis the ruins, wandered into the Museum of Holography - zalipalovo for 10 minutes at most.


walk up the city went to the waterfront in the cafe and ordered a couple of kebab salads:


salads in general could not order - and so was the barbeque and well served)


why lezlut the monument - it is not clear ...


there Sebastopol embankment


near the bus station the train is a memorable
"Death to Fascism!" № 3-2500

after Sebastopol went to Yalta.
Yalta is a beautiful city. Went to the Botanical Gardens Nikitinsky .


crowd-the crowd


bamboo grove


a tree bark shaggy












-1 in the pond



Back in town after a 3 hour walk through the gardens, the first thing on the waterfront:


people as on Nevsky / Tver in rush hour


strange as wharves and water is not clean, but people still took a fancy to all the free ships approaches to water.


on the horizon line on the left of the restaurant "Golden Fleece"










Wedding. Bride on the phone crackles, the groom is trying to calm down (hand) girlfriend nail biting - is going through, but something! such a case, and a couple of friends are scurrying around ...

visited an exhibition devoted to Yalta - liked the sculpture of the Virgin:


in the city was seen interesting hose


And the oldest trolley company Skoda


(just in case the world's longest trolleybus route runs from Simferopol to Yalta, and it's called Crimean trolleybus )

kote Young plays with sour plums, granny in stress, all are in front of potential Buyers:





In general, leave it and leave Africa, the main thing that tan, bought, Crimean wine bathed, clean air breathed.

And under конец поста немного статистики:
спуск 800 ступенек и подъем 800 = 1600 в день
всего мы пробыли там 12 дней = 1600*12=19`200 плюс два дня мы спускались 2 раза к морю т.е.
19`200+3200 = 22`400 ступенек.

take a typical flight of stairs (see above) is half the story = 10 steps is one floor is 20 steps.
Divide the total number of steps per floor that would understand how many floors we stomped, we get: 22 "400/20 = 1120 floors.

How to understand the 1120 stories that a lot or a little?

Burj Dubai the tallest building in the world 162 floors in it, assume that there typical ladder as in our case we get 1120 total floors divided by 162 = 1120/162 = 6.91 ie 7 (seven times the height of the highest building in the world)
