Instead of a foreword

I was hoping that I could make short reports from a trip to the Crimea. I even took a laptop with me and, it seemed, was ready to publish photos every day, but reality made adjustments.

Firstly, a two-day trip from central Russia (the city of Kostroma) to the Crimea did not allow me to pull anything in my hands except the steering wheel of a car.

I would not say that this long road was very difficult. When you go to adventures, the warm sea, the sun and rest, it is difficult to get tired of the long road.

But the fact that I was not interested in anything else but the road at that moment. Thus, two days passed. When we arrived in Crimea, it turned out that there were a lot of interesting and important things that needed to be done, and I just was not able to do the processing of photos and writing texts for publications.

And then I plunged into the sea and on vacation. And I realized that all my adventures and photos I will show better when I get home.

And so, I'm at home.

I must say that when I arrived in the Crimea, in the city of Koktebel, the weather began to deteriorate. The sky was covered with clouds.
The weather was fine two days before. On the road to the Crimea above me was a blue sky and white clouds.

Despite this weather, I was very happy to be at sea. In addition, using the Internet and weather forecast, I quickly found out that the sun was shining on the coast of the Sea of Azov.
It is only an hour and a half away.

We quickly got into the car and went to a place called Shchelkino. This is a small village near Cape Kazantip on the Sea of Azov.

While we were driving there, heavy rain poured twice on us. But our efforts were rewarded. We arrived at the warm sea and the sun.

Water temperature - 26 degrees Celsius. This is a very nice warm water. We swam and lay down on the sand, looking at the blue cloud that was following us.

When the sun disappeared behind the cloud, we were ready to go back. The bathing task was completed.

So we deceived the weather and managed to swim and sunbathe, despite the fact that the weather was almost ruined.

This was the very beginning of a vacation in Crimea in the summer of 2019.
