When I look through my very old articles, where there were literally 10 photos each, I wonder how it was possible to do this, I kind of like a photoblog 🙂 Now, however, the situation is completely different, and it is very difficult to keep within 30-40 photos to one post. So in this case, we had to divide our trip to the mountains of Crimea into 2 parts, since there were a lot of photos and I would like to share them with you. First article I already released yesterday, and today a sequel, in which there will be a couple of very interesting photos of the starry sky.

Day three.
T / s East Suat - ist. Nefan-Uzen and a radial to the Tai-Koba mountain
After sleeping, we packed up the camp and went to the Ai-Alexiy camp. We got there in about an hour, replenished water supplies, talked with each other at last, and our Ukrainian friends left us, sailing off to the village of Generalskoye, and we were three of us to continue towards the Chigenitra parking lot..

Somewhere halfway to the east. Nefan-Uzen, we threw our backpacks into the grass and climbed Karabi Yaila, to the top of Takya-Tepe (1253 m). Where we, as usually happens, hovered for a couple of hours, enjoying views of the area of the village of Solnechnogorskoe and looking for various figures in the clouds.

Going back down the trail, we had an apple snack (it was here that we first met apples that could actually be eaten). After mountain views, the second most valuable thing is snacks. Most often, we have sweets, and they probably act as a bone for a trained dog: walked so many kilometers - here's a kozinaka. And the most amazing thing is that a couple of pieces are enough, while at home you can grind a half of the refrigerator.

Actually, because of our radial outing and long contemplation, we did not reach the spring (as it turned out later, only 500 meters), where we thought to spend the night and spent the night in a small copse right under the stars. This, by the way, is very convenient - you put the camera next to the tent for a long exposure, start the alarm clock and sleep. The main thing is that there is no rain, otherwise very expensive photographs can be obtained..
Formidable tourist figure

The open area for filming is what you need
We saw such a sky almost every day in Crimea.
We haven't seen this 🙂
Day four.
Spring Nefan-Uzen - m / s Chigenitra
Waking up early and passing the missing 500 meters yesterday, we had breakfast near the spring. Yesterday's water was completely over and we were lucky that we were literally 10 minutes away from breakfast. But that day there was enough water for everyone, it started to rain and, if desired, it could be absorbed by the entire surface of the body.
One of the most beautiful places in the whole hike

Because of the bad weather, we had no choice but to move a little and communicate a lot. All the same, the route is almost finished and you can extend the remaining time a little. Therefore, in order not to get too wet, we periodically hid under the awning from the tent, not forgetting to discuss something. As a result, in our conversations we reached m / s Cheginitra without noticing it..

The clearing we chose was a completely open space with a personal view of the sea and mountains. I want to see the same one every day from the window instead of dull concrete houses. And everything would be fine here, if not for the wind. There is such a noise inside the tent that you are immediately afraid to become like Merry Popins, only with a tent instead of an umbrella.

Day five.
T / s Chigenitra - pos. Rybachye
The final day was a bit sad for me. For some reason, these 5 days were not enough for me at all, and I still wanted to go and go, not thinking about anything. But we went downstairs and bathed in the artificial lake Hun. And a small lake without a name, met on the road, reminded me of its blue water our long-standing trip to Altai. We also tasted the fruit of the grape. Quite a bit, although even the watchman gave us permission. By the way, grapes from a branch are something, I have never tasted better, they are not at all like what is sold in our stores.

This picture reminds me very much of Altai
