After her very first “Hello, welcome to our mosque” I already knew we needed to connect if I were to take her portrait.
.
Later I leaned her name, Gulnaz, a teacher at Bashkir State University. She translated to English the mosque’s chief welcoming words.
.
As we were leaving I asked her: “Can I please take your portrait?” - “Of me”, she asked -Yes! It would be an honor. Then the sequence happened.

Dear friends!
.
When we had a flight from Moscow to Pyatigorsk we've noticed few foreign tourists in the plane. When we were walking around the park in Kislovodsk we've seen a foreign traveling couple making a photo session.
.
This two facts please me much. I can explain why. I'm interested what the foreigners want to see in Russia. And I study your blogs attentively. Well... Untill St. Basils Cathedral (Moscow) and church of Saviour on a Spilled blood begin to ripple in my eyes.
.
Despite Russia is the biggest country in the world and occupies one sixth of the land it still to be "terra incognita" for you.
.
You will fulfill "must see list" Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Perhaps you will visit some most known towns of the Golden Ring. Someone of you will go to Valaam or Kizhi islands. The most brave will get to Baikal and Kamchatka.
.
Almost one year I've been studying your blogs and I've seen only two ones with the photos of non standard rout around Russia. That please me as well. That means there are exist people free of boarder of patterns and stereotypes.
.
Those people construct their own unique travel because they are real researchers and inquisitive minds.
.
Friends! Most of the towns and places we are telling about in our blog we managed to get to by the public transport. And you will manage as well.
.
If you need some information about towns or transport write us. We will be glad to help you to see in our country some more than standard set of landmarks.
.
And now the sights of the Old park in Kislovodsk. Swipe to enjoy. Amazing journeys to everyone!

Dear friends!
.
Do you think it is a church on the photo?
.
No. It is a bathhouse. The matter is often there can be a spring in a monastery. This spring is been sanctified and the water became saint.
.
There can be just a small pavilion or a chapel above the spring. Sometimes they can build a small house for baths. It is necessary to plunge in the water for three times.
.
You can take the saint water with you in a bottle as well.
.
Have a nice Saturday!

The beach of Praskoveevka village on the coast of the Black Sea.
.
There is a unique and wonderful monument of nature. It is a rock named Velum. It is absolutely flat and has width of approximately one meter. It high is 30 meters and length is 25 metres.
.
It stands in the sea perpendicularly to the coast. And nobody can understand why it doesn't fall down having such the parameters. That is why it is unique.
.
It has a hole. Some dreamers say it is a hole from a cannonball. Really? Than it was a square ball from a special square cannon. And it was secret arms because I haven't seen any in museums yet.
.
We've seen many shots of this rock. And as we had a rest not far from it we wanted to make a pic as well. The main challenge was to get there. We didn't know bus timetable. It wasn't published anywhere.
.
Of course the simplest way is to take a taxi but that wasn't interesting for. How can get to Praskoveevka the piople without a private car or bike, cycle, horse, at least donkey
.
Information finds those who are attempting to find it. Once we returned to our hotel and met a couple of pensioners. They shared with us information about the buses to Dzankhot village, the time table and secret bus stop . We wanted to visit Dzankhot as well.
.
While getting to Dzankhot we could notice a timetable of the buses going to Praskoveevka. And right to that beach!
.
Just three buses per day but that was enough for us to get there and return back to our hotel. Persistence and curiosity are the best friends to the travellers
.
Swipe to enjoy the sights. Have a nice Sandy!
