KRIMSKY vacation

Written: 1 june 2010
Travel time: 16 — 29 may 2010
Mini-report on the May trip to the Demerdzhi health and recreation center (Alushta-Crimea-Ukraine)…

Yesterday (May 30, at 19:30), on the train number 18 "Sevastopol - Moscow" from Simferopol (with a lot of positive emotions), we safely returned home. From the unforgettable shores of the Black May Crimea. We rested on the Crimean South Coast from May 16 to May 29. In the LOC "Demerdzhi", Alushta. However, everything below will be brief and in order. Tickets (two lower, reserved seats) for the “branded”, fast train “Moscow-Sevastopol” were purchased by us on April 1.2010. In advance, that is, 45 days in advance. No kidding. Believe it's worth it. Even in the spring. So, on May 15.2010 (Saturday), on a sunny "early" morning, we left the Kursk railway station in Moscow to Simferopol by train number 17. Oddly enough, there were no empty seats in the reserved seat car No. 2. And it probably won't be in the future. Until the October frosts at sea.

Moscow-Sevastopol train.

Crumpled faces are going to Crimea.
Branded train, "fast",
We sleep on a chintz bed.
The train rushes along the rails,
To Yalta: "from May to summer".
The woman toils, that is
Going home without a ticket.

Here is the border. Enter.
Eyelids twitched nervously.
- Open the bag. Roam
Hands on the body. Bad.

Someone's children are whimpering
I'm going with my wife in a reserved seat,
A fly runs on a newspaper
"To the Crimea, getting there without a map. "

To be honest, train No. 17 (and not only for our view, dear Reader) is much inferior in its “simple comfort” to train No. 29 “Moscow-Simferopol”. In this case, of course, we are talking only about a reserved seat, since in compartment cars we “due to” our age and prosperity “do not go on principle”. At the same time, we, like many "difficult" Muscovite intellectuals, manage to save money on 3-4 excursions around the Crimea. (The last two or three years have risen in price. And again, this is not due to the crisis and early elections "in the native Ukraine").
Salgir. Simferopol.
Blue trolleybus to the sea.
Let's go. Poplar outside the windows
Branches "rain catches. "

"Good", then "Zarechnoe",
- “Look, the Angarsky pass!
Mountain mist and eternal:
Sun and seas of paint.

Somewhere below us
Heaven kisses with May,
I catch Chatyr-Dag with my eyes!
"They meet us with salt and bread. "

Here is the May-spring Alushta. Sweaty (and not only ours) faces and bodies. We mumble something to the first people we meet, like “we are not locals” and ask how best we can get to the Demerdzhi Grand Hotel. Aunt nods at a huge taxi driver with a huge bust. That “dachshund” has one, 20 hryvnias. In the city. And not a penny less. It turns out a minute later that we have not far to go here. Just 20 minutes. Through Seaside Park and Park them. Gorky. Truth with their feet and with things. From the final stop of trolleybus No. 51 to the Demerdzhi LOC, which is on Perekopskaya Street, 4

May morning. Foggy and empty
This city was called by the "Greeks" "Sal-mouth". *
The fortress is still standing "Aluston". *

A crimson ring is heard over the pier.
……………………………………………. .
“Hello, Alushta! Alushta, hello!
The city is warmed by love in spring.

In the LOC "Demerdzhi", which is beyond the Demerdzhinka River, they arrived at 11-00 o'clock. For breakfast (was from 8-00 to 9-00) naturally late. They settled us in building No. 3 (3rd floor) with a view of the pool and a “low-key” fence, and the sea splashes behind the fence. We dismantled things at a run and let's go to the sea, swim. Before lunch (from 13-00 to 14-00). It is 24 degrees outside, and the water temperature is only 15 degrees. Brrr. I would like to note the fact that the Beach of the Demerdzhi Lots is guarded. He is fenced off from the city, though "honestly" (medium mesh), but also the stern look of a security guard in camouflage with the same word "Rustle" on his mighty back. Until June 1 of this year, the beach (as well as the entire hotel) was in the process of being equipped for the main summer season. At the same time, there were not very many people on the beach (5-10 people).
There were many places under the Sun, as well as jellyfish in the sea. The rest rested near the pool on the territory of the LOC.

The sea "kisses" Alushta on the lips,
What is hiding in the almond bushes.
I roll in the waves. I dive with a dolphin.
I rejoice in mountains, sea and wines.

Sleeping over Alushta mountain Chatyr - Dag,
Sleeping Perevalnoe, local attic,
And on the spurs of Mount Demerdzhi,
Someone is making someone laugh in the fog.

Sleepy cries, someone's visions,
The haunted mountain sighs languidly.
The Sun is rising. The day is rising.
There is a short shadow in May Alushta.

Two weeks (contrary to Internet forecasts) flew by unnoticed and (hooray) without rain. We went on excursions without hustle and bustle. For their hard-earned hryvnia. We saw almost the entire South Coast (caves, mountains: the Valley of Ghosts and the Dzhur-Dzhur waterfall. Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Partenit (san. "Aivazovskoye"). Yalta. Alushta. Tasting vintage (and not always) wines. Big Crimean Reserve.


I kiss the "greasy" lips of Big Alushta.
I brought a photo eye to the fortress of Aluston.
Drunk from May! Cabbage pickle in the morning
I drink with Tatars. They have prayer now.

In conclusion of our mini-review, I would like to say that the description of the Demerdzhi Hotel can be found here. website: www. demerdji. com. Our feedback about everything seen and heard is only positive. Thanks to the administration and all the employees of the hotel "for the early buffet" (until June 1) and the wonderful pastime and mood that we acquired in Alushta and in the Crimea.

We left on May 29.2010 (on Saturday) again by trolley bus number 51 to Simferopol at 14-25. Train No. 18 "Sevastopol - Moscow" arrived exactly on schedule, at 19-11. To the third way. to the fourth platform. The same stuffy 23 hours of reserved seat of our general malaise and our "admiring nature outside the window. " Through the unwashed and misted windows in the entire carriage No. 3. See the description of the path, above, from the first paragraph of our review.
Have a nice summer holiday everyone. Take care of yourself and our nature. Our mother.
