Back to the past (sequel to continue)

More about the mother and child trip. In the best case, when you came with a friend and occupied a 4-bed room, or out of season and 2.3 mothers with children are settled in each room, they are divided by sex and age. Irina Viktorovna tries very hard to please everyone, but her possibilities are limited to six rooms and a veranda (in the warm season) of different capacities. It is most advantageous to send grandfather or father to the sanatorium, then there will definitely be a separate room, if someone so smart does not arrive yet. I was lucky, we lived with my mother and a girl almost the same age as my daughter and we didn’t have any special conflicts (except you took my pen, ball, etc. ). And in the other room, where two mothers lived, a grandmother and three thugs of kindergarten age, mothers and grandmothers quietly went crazy by the end of the day because one "give" is still nothing, and when there are several of them, this explosive mixture all the time requires to yourself increased attention and relaxation is possible only during sleep, and even then not always. From household amenities, a couple of washbasins, a couple of toilets on each floor and a bidet and 2 places for washing a small laundry or washing feet on the second floor. Shower after the children who came themselves 2-3 times a week. There are no individual meals. If your child needs some kind of special diet (gluten-free, intolerance to chicken meat, etc. ), it is better to immediately refuse the tour and not spend money on tickets, as happened with one of the mothers in our race (she stayed for a day and left in horror). Agree on individual meals in private, for the money WILL NOT WORK. Nutritional deficiencies can be solved by purchasing the necessary products in Gaspra shops after issuing a pass to exit the territory of the sanatorium. For cooking sausages, I recommend taking a boiler, although they are not allowed to use. Elena Viktorovna and any nurse and even those on duty at the gate will tell you where to go on excursions (very kind and friendly people too). I recommend to go by yourself without a tour of the sanatorium at a convenient time for yourself. A minibus to Yalta costs 6 UAH per adult. so is a child over 6 years old, regardless of whether your child is standing or in your arms. Drivers in minibuses are soooooooooo angry and won't budge until everyone pays the fare (for the entire stay we got only one good driver). You can get to the nearest Koreiz, upper Miskhor, lower Miskhor, Swallow's Nest for 3 UAH per person. Simeiz, Alupka, Livadia for 5 UAH. In the lower Miskhor on the beach "Mermaid" until you get to admire the heaps of garbage. In general, if you are used to Spartan conditions and food, then you can go. Like all impressions. What I forgot to say I hope others will write to be ready for such a holiday.
