So well it turned out that our guys were reading our blog. near Simferopol. It was here that we stayed for one. the night before our trip to the mountains of Crimea. Lera and Andrew, thanks much for the shelter and for spending on us their day off. You are open and interesting people, it was great to meet you and to talk! I really hope we will meet again 
But all has not done the usual overnight stay. Not far from them the country house turned out to be the cave of Emine Bair Khosar, about which I already told. And we went there for a reason, and a short way. through country roads on an ATV and an SUV.

I love wooden houses, so cozy
Chandeliers in the form of a wagon wheel
On the ATV across the Crimea
Honestly, this was my first ATV driving experience. This thing is very powerful, and she strove to jump out from under me, yes go to the ditch. Well, that the lower plateau Chatyr Dag quite flat, and it was not much to fly away. Andrew all podnachival, they say this dent on a quad bike man broke his leg, here this scratch is a hand. But nothing, we drove carefully, and so all remained intact. Patency of the unit is very decent, I was driving just across the field, bypassing the stones, and nowhere have I never hooked, and the quad did not even mean that it could get stuck. I wonder how he behaves in the mud, and not on the rocky plain. I still remember how one time black soil on the Niva kneaded, that machine was still.

From here there is a view of the foothills.

Well, when you can just sit and think
From here there is a view of the foothills.
In general, of course, there is something in it. You live in the foothills in your I wanted to go to the mountains, got on a quad bike and in 20 minutes you were already enjoy the view. Conveniently! Although the keyword here is not quad bike, and “you live in the foothills.” Maybe someday we after all, it is implemented in one form or another.
Coal walking and black sauna
After quad rides and a jeep in Chatyr Dag, visits the caves of Emine Bair Hosar and admiring the mountain views we drove back to the guys in the house where the black sauna and walking awaited us over the coals.
At first I refused coals. My first experience of walking on them in the village of Renaissance was not entirely successful – burned a couple of fingers. But, as they say, in a strange monastery with its charter do not go, and if I want to go to the bath, I’ll have to go over the coals. And it is necessary, in this Once everything was ok. Either I moved faster, or the coals were not hard coals
But the black bath is something! I have never been, all saunas, yes saunas. When you leave the steam room, a funny taste remains in your mouth smoke, and you feel some kind of smoked meat. I like it! Want wooden house and bath!
