Everyone has different ideas about vacation.
The first time was in the Crimea in the distant soviet times, the most wonderful impressions. Then he lived and worked in Siberia. So in Yakutskgeologiya, where we had a yacht club (this is generally a separate topic) and another cool recreation center on the Lena. Summer in Central Yakutia is short but real. Not to be confused with Irkutsk for example - it is cold almost all summer.
There are cool sandy beaches on the Lena, there are no mosquitoes, in the Lena the water warms up to +20 and above, you can't compare it with Lake Baikal. Baikal is simply majestically beautiful, but cold. Lena is another matter, nature !!! And fishing !!! In the second half of summer, the sandy islands are exposed and become simply huge, they are 5 kilometers long and more than a kilometer wide, like sand dunes in the desert, you come across singing sands, you walk, and howl at every step. On sandy spits, sturgeon is caught, though small, well, there are enough other fish. Even once the joke was - we were on a boat 200 kilometers below Yakutsk, set up a tent on the island, unloaded all our things, cooked dinner, drank 150 each and decided to quickly walk several times with a net, in one place we tried, in another, we got a few sturgeons, then we decided to dash to the root bank, which was opposite just about a kilometer away. Imperceptibly dark, everyone decided, it's time to "go home", we go back and it was not there, all the islands are like twins, to look for our tent like a needle in a haystack. We hike from island to island. This is about how they came to visit on a holiday, left the festive table on the street naked to smoke and got lost. So I had to spend the night under open air, wait for the morning. And in the morning they barely found it, they burned 20 liters of gasoline. These are the open spaces there. My parents from Kazakhstan came to visit me, and for 18 years now they remember this as best rest In my life.
And somehow my family and I (northern vacation for two years - three months), having rested at our recreation center, went further for new impressions - Kazakhstan, Moscow, Ukraine and finally Crimea-Yalta, Simeiz.
So what? In the evenings we sat in our room, paid for three months in advance, and frankly yearned for our seats - and why did we come here?
I remember my sister went to the Black Sea almost every year and spoke much better in Yalta than in Sochi. And so, forgive me for the sinful words- If there is such a female in Yalta, then what is in Sochi?
I told my acquaintances many times about this, but everyone told me to say the least - I'm not right, they say I'm a fool or what? I understand that even now the majority will not understand me, because not everyone likes a secluded vacation in the wild, pristine nature - someone is drawn to the sea, fun, music, get-togethers, and they are indifferent that everything there has long been trampled down, dirtied, I do not say that this is bad, but someone likes a different kind of recreation and for this it is not at all necessary to go to the Black Sea, there are other places. I remember I was on the Simferopol-Moscow train and told Muscovites about the rest in Siberia, their eyes lit up, but when I told them how to get there, they were disappointed, that's why we go to the Black Sea, they said. But that was a long time ago, now it is easier, now you can get anywhere, if you wish. Here is the truth about Western Siberia, let’s say anything about Eastern Siberia.
