After a long epic with housing, we finally settled down for a month. I will write in a separate article about how we were looking for housing in Gelendzhik and the surrounding area and what conclusions we made, but now I just want to traditionally tell you where we settled down and what we have good here. As a result, we stayed with our friends in Beregovoye, to whom we initially came for a couple of days. There is a room here, but this is a whole story, why we could not immediately stay there, explain for a long time, I will only say that this house belongs to another person and he had his own plans for this room. In general, while we are here, we will see. We will rely on fate (flow), and then you look already a month will pass and you will have to return to Moscow again.
To be honest, initially we went to Gelendzhik itself, because it was the city that would be more suitable for us for testing the move, there are masseurs and possibly deaf teachers. Yes, that's why we came to these parts to see if we could move here from Moscow for at least a year or not. However, after living for several days in the village, we really wanted to stay here in peace and quiet, surrounded by mountains and not far from the still deserted beach of Krinitsa.
Our kitchen and bathroom are in the underground style
Sometimes we have hydrolat in the kitchen, the smell is cool
My desk where the smooth transition from Windows to Mac takes place
Our room is simple, but it is quite normal for life in the summer, the most important thing is that Yegor can spend most of his time outside the door in the sun, grass, and together with another boy. It is so interesting sometimes to watch how small children interact with each other 🙂
The guys also have an early start complex, our house is in a box
One of Yegor's favorite exercise machines is a concrete staircase.
Behind the wall is the bathhouse, where we go twice a week, dreams come true!
I just can't get used to drinking tap water
Real sweet cherries grow in the tree garden
Hammock in the garden
There is also a swimming pool, but Yegor ignores it.
And most importantly - there is another child here!
I remember several people asked me about where we bought the puzzle mats, so necessary for our son because of his poor coordination. They also give warmth to the legs as a bonus. So, I am sharing a life hack on how you can budget to implement a warm and soft floor when traveling or at home, especially when traveling, because you can't drag a full trunk of rugs with you. A regular roll of insulation is bought and spread on the floor. For example, now I bought Stenol without foil 8mm thick at the price of 35r per running meter, in total, only 350 rubles and the issue with the floor has been removed 🙂 There is also a minus, it will not last too long, plus it must be fixed somehow (I did it with scotch tape ). Therefore, if you need to do this for a while, then this option will also go, if for a long time, then you need to think about and choose stronger insulation like tourist foams.

Returning to the theme of life in the countryside. So far we like everything here, and the fact that the sea is 5 minutes by car, and the fact that the mountains are all around, and the fact that there is a small community themed. Of course, all sorts of cons will emerge much later, but there is no heaven on earth, so only your specific ratio of pros and cons is important. From the unusual and not entirely convenient - to a normal supermarket you need to go to Gelendzhik (40 minutes), for something special in general to Krasnodar or from Moscow by mail order. But the Caucasian megaphone gives 3g Internet at very reasonable prices - 800 rubles for 30 gigs of traffic, and 50 gigs for 1100 rubles, this is quite enough for everything and there will only be more!
Serpentines are steep here, cars flip over once

Yo guys! I'm at sea!
The beach in Krinitsa now looks something like this
Of course, a little later we will go to Gelendzhik and look for the specialists we need for the future, but while we really want to enjoy the summer nature, there is still a feeling that everything is about to disappear and a long winter will begin again. Yes, and Yegor needs to creep in plenty, breathe in fresh air and at least get a little tan. After all, living in Gelendzhik in an apartment, you will still spend much less time on the street, but here she is right across the threshold..
We have no plans for traveling to these places, because now we are not at all up to this, there is no time, only have time to follow the tame boy. In principle, it is enough for us that we can go to the sea every evening and that we live in the bosom of nature. But maybe I still go on a mini-hike for a couple of days, I took a tent and a sleeping bag, who wants to keep a company, with a welk 🙂
And this is how we drove all the way to Gelendzhik 🙂
