Rest is just great! But the road there ...... like "on the last journey"
Having lived to the age of 35, she was nowhere further than her native area. And in July 2013 the whole family decided to go to the sea. Naturally, we decided to try our south, Russian. After spending 6 months on the Internet, they finally chose the Krasnodar Territory, the city of Yeysk. I studied it in absentia so much that it was possible to work as a guide locally.
As expected, we bought tickets 45 days in advance and packed our bags. The day of departure came. We were excited about the trip. And we really wanted to see the sea not in the picture, but with our own eyes. Well, now we remember the beginning of July..... heat, stuffiness, etc.
The train departed at night from 5 to 6 at 00.15. Naturally, we arrived in Moscow earlier, about 4 hours (because with electric trains to the capital of our country, everything is not at all certain - continuous cancellations). Well, nothing, after spending time at the station, finally heard the landing announcement. We rushed to find our train. Found. We climbed into the car, squeezed our way to our seats and saw that one of them was already taken. At first we were confused, but then, with difficulty finding the conductor, it turned out that the girl who had taken our place had mixed up the day of departure. The girl was dropped off. She even asked to be placed in a compartment (there were many free ones), but she remained on the platform. Putting our bags in a box, we sat down to take a breath and then realized that we could hardly breathe. Zero air, complete vacuum! Our seats ended up where "emergency exit" is written next to the windows and a hammer hangs in a drawer. The windows are blind and not a single jet of air comes from anywhere. So we drove the first 3 hours to Tula. The children were saved by the fact that they were very tired and fell asleep, and my husband and I went out to the parking lot and tried to fill our lungs with a supply of air. After 40 minutes we moved on. The air in the lungs ended after 5 minutes. after departure. But further is better! Our conductor has been on the road for the 10th day, and then there are passengers...... In general, she is far from us. Well, we would have survived this painlessly if she hadn’t stopped opening the doors of the car in the parking lots, so that joyful vacationers could at least then take a breath of air. I had to sneak into the next car and go out into the street there. The only place where heatstroke could be avoided was the toilet. The whole carriage went in single file there. and not out of natural need, but for coolness. A lot of ice cream was eaten, which is not at all like in stores on the platforms. (3-4 times more expensive. ) Drinking water for the entire trip (29 hours) 14 liters. We bought it directly with a piece of ice at stops, the ice melted within 15 minutes. Finally arrived!!!!!!!!!
What a clean, sweet air! We were met, taken to the place, placed. Everything turned out well, just great. Silence, cleanliness of the streets, calmness, heat, but not a damp scorching heat, like ours. The sea is shallow, not transparent, but not dirty. Beach "Kamenka" is not wide, but so cozy. It was very painful to go into the water on the rocks. But then they explained to us that we need to look where the stones piled up in heaps lie on the shore. With them, people mark a normal entry into the sea. Of course, we were no exception, and like many beginners, we made a common mistake for everyone - we burned out. Thank God we went for a month! 4 days of treatment. We even managed to visit the doctor. But nothing serious. No adaptation, no discomfort. In general, the rest itself turned out to be a real rest in a normal, quiet, clean, friendly, beautiful city.
Darkened all this, only the thought of the return trip. Panic seized from the thought of the way back. I remembered the words of the neighbors in the car when they moved past our seats... "how are you still alive here? "
But we saw the sea, swam, sunbathed, In general, we had a rest. We liked. I would like more, but would compare with the Black Sea.
