I'm going to the Crimea in order to climb the mountains very near Bakhchisarai.

Today I finished collecting my backpack and prepared to leave. Went to Kurenivsko market and bought things that were not enough - a gas burner, a pot, mosquito, and so on. House uploaded a new travel bag, he was weighing somewhere 25kg. Is not easy. Mom, you try to pick it up, picked up the hysteria that I absolutely can not go with such weight. But Dad was more prudent - clothed, appreciated, and said "good." After all, he has experience - in his younger years, he made a campaign in the Caucasus, where he carried a backpack heavier than another.

Now I'm going to train. Race was not the best in terms of time. Much worse than when driving in Odessa last year to rest Pearl Zatoka reviews which can be read the Internet. From Kiev to Simferopol - more than 16 hours! Neighbors in the compartment I found a family that goes to the esoteric Yoga Festival:). Although it is we did not talk.

arrived in Sevastopol in the morning on the train, then bus reached the Bakhchisarai. There, I drove to the shuttle foot of Calais. Thus began my adventure.

go with the crowd of tourists, I do not want to. I went round and climbed a mountain on the other side. I visited the cave from above and historic monuments, was photographed. Then, get help on map of Crimea, I decided to go into the cave Mangup-Calais. But on the descent from the right side was a big wall and security. Then I went back around. To get around the wall, it was necessary to go down below the cliffs on one side. With a backpack - is unrealistic. Then I tried to pull his arm, if possible, and throw on a small ledge. Unfortunately on the ledge of a backpack bounced and flew further down the four feet on the rocks, then rolled over several times and got stuck in the bush. During this rash act I "paid" more easily than I could: fixing broken flashlight on his head. All other equipment is not damaged, and it is not broke.

Then I just walked. At first, went straight in the direction where I needed were the cave - through bushes. After a while I realized that if I could go straight to the caves (not roads and trails that people have come up with), I put a monument over it. And since I am a humble guy, I decided to leave this idea. In fact, just pull so, not for money, 25-pound rucksack up through the bushes that constantly clings to the valve backpack - an unworthy cause.Then I was struck

another little story. I was walking along a dirt road, but she kept up. I scrambled back, fondly hoping that somewhere up there it will turn me in the right direction. Height was like a titanic task. Every two minutes I had to stop for breath in the lead in pulse rate. I have visited their tents thoughts right here on the rocks and go to bed. But after half an hour of self-torture occurred to me and I got a GPS. It turns out that this road would lead me to the place that I so carefully avoided. In order to get to the caves to get down! And then turn.

Given my success and the time of the day, I decided to walk to the river, which was much closer to the caves. Go already, albeit difficult, but it's nice, because I knew that I was going the right way. By the way, I met a man who tended a herd of cows. He suggested to me where I can collect spring water ad libitum. Finally I reached the river Kacha, near the village of Kudrin. Another half an hour I made my way through the thickets near the river, hoping to find a suitable place for camping. Finally found, but it was getting dark and I only managed to put up a tent and eat, because I had not eaten all day, only drinking water. Lay in a sleeping bag and phoned his parents. Already feel as sore shoulders. Tomorrow will be a big krepatura))

woke up at 6:30 - because that was hot. Opened, fell asleep. At 9 I was awakened by Ruslanchik who was interested in how my case. I have an hour or so, "lie," and left the tent outside. The sun shone brightly, but it is my place, unfortunately, was covered with trees. Direct sunlight is very important to me, because I will be able to dry things and charge the solar battery. I found a place where the sun made its way between the leaves and spread out their belongings. Every half hour I had to translate them, because the sun was moving and "an oasis of sun," too:). On the camping gas stove, I quickly managed to cook porridge Hercules. I ate an entire bowl of cereal + four hot dogs. Also, I had a delicious Belarusian condensed milk, which I recommend Bodean. I eat them at the end. In a small river, I washed some clothes and washed my head. Amounted to a tent and began to pack a backpack. When I had almost finished the hard work, I discovered that was not my cell phone. I remember that I put it on the tent, which is already in the bag. So, I think I accidentally dropped the phone in the grass. I rummaged through everything, uproot weeds, but the phone was not. In the end I found it at the bottom of a backpack, but I still do not know how he was there ))).

collecting bag, I decided to return to the village and fill the bottle Kudrino spring water. It called Mariska, which was interested in my affairs. She recalled that her mother is very worried about me. Yes. This test is for my mother's faith. A test yield growth. So, as a result of my mother's faith grow. It's nice to know :).

I got the water and opened the map to determine its further route. Finally, I want to get to the sea, but the way I visit the rocky caves of Mangup-Calais, of which I told the seller at the store tourist equipment. It was already two o'clock, and given my past success, I realized that a lot of evenings to go I can not. Maximum of ten kilometers. So I decided to go to the village of Masha, for him to turn into the mountains and go 7 miles to the village Kujbyshevo, near which the river flows Belbek. There I can arrange a tent and stay the night. The path was not easy. Two-wheel dirt road into a footpath, which turned to the left and right and up and down. Every thousand steps, I checked with a GPS-navigator. The direction was correct and it gave me the strength to go faster. After a while, sweaty feet are uncomfortable began to rub the bottom, at the base. I tried to change socks, but his feet were sweating, and rapidly deteriorating situation. So I'll go far with my backpack ... Fortunately, I remembered that I had a comfortable sandals and decided to try them. Go much easier! Feet ventilated and not mokli. However, it soon began to grate on the sandals back of the feet))) Here's bad luck. But, thank God, and in this case I have found a solution - to place friction relief images I plaster, and go again it was easy and fun :).

When I reached the village Kujbyshevo unfortunately already beginning to darken. I have not managed (. In the village, I met three girls, and asked how to get to the river. They explained to me that it was necessary to go to such and there, and then turn over the house of culture. When I went there, then on the shore saw the noisy company for a beer - some guys. Then I decided to go further down the river to find a secluded place. But in my way was a man who asked me: "Away we go?" "Good evening" - I replied, and walked without stopping. He I repeated the question in the back, but I was not gone. I returned to the village and went to the store. I bought apples, bananas and juice. In women, the seller asked me where to find a place near the river, to put a tent. She said that should go about a kilometer to the village and then turn right into the gardens. I went there was a river, but it became so dark, that I decided not to look for gardens, and find an acceptable place along the river. In doing this, I met two guys with cigarettes in companies. One of them asked me if I do not get lost. I said that I am looking for a place where to put the tent - next to the gardens and near water. He explained to me how to walk and gave up after "... and not afraid to do the same?" . I did not go there, where he said he found a place closer. Right on the river, on a smooth stone, under a steep bank, which hide the branches and leaves. It spread to the touch and a tent. When I got into the tent, he heard some voices nearby. A kind of Kids was in shallow water up the river with a flashlight. The light in the water and searched for something, talking. They passed, I have not noticed.

I hope I'm here, no one will bother. I ate bananas and juice, and tomorrow need to cook porridge. You should also dry the clothes. Then it will be possible to go further - to the caves of Mangup-Calais, and then - to the sea! :)

Good night!
