Greetings to the readers. Now I am in Krasnaya Polyana, where met with 4vtae guys who influenced in our time our desire to winter in Thailand. We met with them once all in Bangkok back in 2011. Now here are the paths crossed again after so many years, yes in the Sochi region. About how it looks Krasnaya Polyana, what beautiful mountain views here, I will tell in another again, there will be a guide along the way. Here is straight European resort-
And now a little about how I got to Krasnaya Polyana. And further I have a couple of questions for you. Just a few days I’ll move From here in the direction of Anapa take your family. I suppose to go about a week there, hence two questions: does anyone want to meet along the way and advise what to see.
How to get to Krasnaya Polyana
Not everyone is following me in social networks, so I will duplicate a little photos and tell you how to get.
I had to leave immediately after we moved from our apartments in Vityazevo (essentially a townhouse) in a guest house at rehabilitation center. But, first, Egor got sick again and needed it was to dangle in Anapa to get him tested and do x-rays, so I also postponed photographing Vityazevo, Anapa and the bicycle coil to air defense balls on the very last day. As a result, went to 2 a day later and in the evening.
Before leaving, ran to the Bald Mountain in Anapa
Novorossiysk drove by night
I got to Krinitsa, where I wanted to spend the night in the parking lot near the sea. Romance was anticipating. But in the coastal cafe (was at almost one in the morning) Yuri Shatunov’s double and his fans. Therefore, forcibly listening to the song “Gray Night” in a choir of voices and having made a couple of night photos, I retired into the depths of Krinitsa, where he spent the night safely in the car.

In the morning I got to the beach to drink milk oolong in proud alone, seizing halva (temporarily I do not eat anything flour, therefore, only halva remained from the shop sweet). Good tea was prepared in advance in a thermos, however, he managed to turn into swipes.
Early morning in Krinitsa and tea
My breakfast
Do you know what thoughts I woke up with? What solo travels yes by car is the height of the lung! Now I understand how much easy to drive without children, maybe that’s why I stopped reading others Solo traveler blogs are not inspiring. Well, really. Are you going yourself, going, fell to sleep anywhere, when you want to get up, that I ate well on the way, no schedules, modes and other things.
The way to Krasnaya Polyana from Krynytsia took about 6 hours, the average speed 40-50 km / h. After Tuapse charged serpentines, well, that I was driving, otherwise I would have vomited. It seems to be quite close by mileage, and the usual travel time should be multiplied by 2-3. But the road is brightened up by views, at first low mountains on one side and the sea on the other, and then the real Caucasus (closer to the Red Polyana).
On the way to Tuapse, the sea is periodically seen
On parkings traditional garbage
Many one-way repairs
Excellent track – a detour around Sochi
Closer to Krasnaya Polyana begin beauty

My return route
While I have a very small plan, I will move along coastline with stops. Planned to walk around Sochi and visit arboretum, go to 33 waterfalls, on Volkonsky dolmen. In these was already there, but a long time ago without a camera, so again to post then write. I also think to go to Agurskie Waterfalls near Khosta (maybe on Mount Akhun), on the Plesetsk Waterfalls in the area of Gelendzhik, visit the guys in the camping Pine Paradise in Arhipo-Osipovka, see how and what they have changed, and in military museum in Temryuk.
I would be glad to company and advice, what else is worth looking at of the way.
By the way, today I turned 34 
P.S. In the social networks, I joked that flew to Thailand, but in fact In fact, the picture was taken in Krasnaya Polyana. For now I need deal with the Russian direction, due to the crisis it is more as relevant. Today, instead of celebrating the DR, I worked all day. Here I am strange! ))
