Askania Nova
Hello!!!!!! I would like to share my impressions about a 2-day trip to the Askania Nova + Genichesk + National Historical and Archaeological Reserve Stone Grave (for Trinity 2017))) So, in order: 1. The zoo of the Academy of Sciences itself is a very calm and peaceful place with a heavenly aura, wherebirds sing and peacocks walk next to you. A very large area. A very interesting and informative history of the reserve with its legends, and it could not have done without love and passion))))2. A trip to the endless steppe on a safari is a unique opportunity to communicate with animals from different continents, face to face, so to speak, and feel like a real part of nature. Feel the same feeling that Kipling felt in his story. To feel all the kindness of the animal world against the background of the steppe landscape and somewhere in the soul agree to admit to ourselves that we are all of the same blood. And all this idyll is very close in our Ukraine))))3. We had an overnight stay and a hearty dinner with breakfast in a chic new hotel Aist on the shores of the Sea of Azov, which, by the way, is only a 2-second walk)))) Absolutely clean, well-groomed rooms (TV is present), with a magnificent view from the balcony of the 3rd flooron the sea, sunrise at 4 in the morning it was just bliss to watch)))) One minus is that the sea near the hotel is shallow, but it doesn’t matter not far from the hotel, we went to the hot healing springs and there is a gorgeous clean beach with the cleanest sea nearbyand the turquoise of the water kingdom, where I had a great swim)))))4. It was completely unexpected for me to visit such a place as NAIZ stone grave. I confess honestly, but this particular excursion was not of particular interest to me - oh my God, how wrong I was))))) Olga Viktorovna, a wonderful storyteller, the guide of the NAIZ KM museum, was able to captivate me with the history of the reserve and helped me plunge into the depths of the centuries of this cradle of mankind, consider the culture of the ancientspeoples and touch the mystery of the mysterious petroglyphs. And on the altar of desires, where the Dalai Lama himself spent a lot of time in prayer, I threw a coin and believe it or not, but my material well-being has become better)))))5. The girl Julia, who provided escort for the group, was just super: she always found a way out of any situation clearly and harmoniously, she was always courteous, attentive and polite, she was always ready to help in any situation. Driver Yury: a professional in his field, drove the car very carefully and quickly, a great conversationalist, a very kind person. Thank you very much as well to all fellow travelers on departure, friends, or rather girlfriends for happiness for humor and love of life, optimism and an inexhaustible source of positive energy)))))) THANK YOU to everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodness and peace to all, as well as more travel, more moments from which the soul trembles, heart pounding and breathless))))))!!!!!!!!!! !
