Traveling by car along the Black Sea: video + conclusions
I want to share the progress of my short journey (photo + video) and also some conclusions. The trip turned out to be quite intense for me (I hadn’t traveled like that for a long time), in the end I couldn’t stand the sightseeing and just wanted to get into an apartment somewhere, where I could sleep on a normal surface, calmly put my thoughts in order, watch the footage videos, thin out pictures and write the bulk of the posts. Here I swore that if you travel for work, then you need to make stops every 3-4 days at «to work», otherwise, as an overflowing bowl, I have not poured it out yet, but it is still necessary to pour it further. Plus the real-time mode is lost.

Easy to travel alone
I rediscovered autotravel for myself, I really want to stir up a long trip across Europe, a big circle for a month. But this is somehow later, but for now I will get out into short trips, even if I would like to stay in one place for a longer time, to live in a new city / country, but it's better this way than not at all, the more and in a short time you can collect material.
In general, it is very easy to travel alone, no worries, left to himself, only the road and work. I returned and my head was immediately spinning. We need to edit the video and continue looking for a trick, but I decided to shoot for a month, even if I don’t post anything, I need to write a guidebook about Krasnaya Polyana and posts about the sights where I was, pull up my tails (posts that I just don’t get to write). And at the same time, we will still go to Sochi, then to Moscow, from where I will take Yegor to rehabilitation and upon returning from it I would like to drive off to Serbia, for which we need to prepare. Plus, you need to solve a bunch of related issues. How to combine all this and manage to do it, I can’t imagine, you don’t know what to grab onto. I was always amazed at those people who simultaneously lead several completely different directions.
My breakfast in Krinitsa - no worries
While I was alone and rode a car, my productivity was quite high, as much as I could, straight wings grew from academic performance. And I came to my family and everything, as if I got into a non-working swamp, it is morally hard to work, either I am with Egor and in the subject of special children, or I am a traveler-blogger. Once again I realized that I need my own room or an office in general, so as not to get involved in the process. Otherwise, it turns out silly, I am sitting in an apartment and it seems as if not with Yegor (he is just nearby), but the feeling that I am fully involved in the process. It is not surprising that later I cannot often replace Daria, because already «tired» from Egor. We urgently need to separate the workplace from the place of residence (yes, we have been talking about this for a long time, now we’ll just decide where we will live), and then it will turn out to change roles, like I work for 3 days, then 3 days with Yegor, and in this time Daria fully does her business and is just as away from home.
Conclusions about Sochi
While I was in the Sochi area, it was time to fall in love with him. Along the way, this is the best place in our country. Yes, I have not been here yet in the midst of winter, but according to the stories of different people, I would like it here in general in terms of the climate, there is simply nowhere better. Well, if you limit yourself to Russia. And what is the number of activities, eh? If you want to ski to Krasnaya Polyana in winter, if you want trekking in the mountains all year round, and the sea is nearby, you can surf or just swim. Most of all, of course, I liked the opportunity to walk through the forest and mountains, or bike rides, it's not for you to walk in Butovo Park or just in a bedroom area among high-rise buildings. Moreover, this entire region is quite attractive visually, Krasnaya Polyana (or rather Estosadok and Rosa Khutor) in general, as Europe looks, is pleasing to the eye. And Adler changed a lot, too «European». There is devastation, where is it without it, but if you compare it with some Saratov, then the earth and the sky are just.
Sochi, mountain view
Yes, and the fruit is easier to find here normal. Figs from the tree, persimmons, nuts, local grapes, no problem. The range in Magnets is not very good, but there are markets.
Photos from the trip
Let me remind you that the main place where I now post photos during my travel and life is my Instagram, it is convenient to look at it on my smartphone if I subscribe. And here is my Youtube channel.
Since not everyone is following me on social networks, here are a dozen photos from the trip, but not those that I have already posted, but taken with a normal camera. I visited Krasnaya Polyana, Estosadka and Rosa Khutor, climbed Rosa Peak and climbed in the rope park, visited Olympic Park and the park Southern Cultures in Adler, Mount Akhun and the statue of Prometheus near Sochi, walked Sochi itself, looked 33 waterfalls and Volkonsky dolmen near Lazarevsky, Gebius waterfalls near Gelendzhik, old park and Upside Down House in Kabardinka, Cruiser Kutuzov in Novorossiysk. I spent 4 nights in an apartment on Krasnaya Polyana, a night with friends near Kudepsta, 2 nights with friends in Sochi and 4 nights in a car, wherever I have to. I ate food mostly just from the store and cooked a little on the burner. That's the whole trip :) How did I get there already also wrote and separately I also have a post about highway M4 with all the nuances.

P.S. How do you like this video? It is more interesting when a mix of moments comes from the whole (or part) of the trip, and not about each place separately.?
