Hitchhiking in Abkhazia. Day 5 by @fourapril

Attention: There are a lot of mistakes in the text, because I do not know English well. I'm sorry =)

Woke up from the fact that someone was digging a hole nearby, and then he slammed an umbrella with a stone (we reminded that we pitched a tent in the middle of the beach, for it was empty at night). But the glory of the gods Russian holidaymakers absolutely do not care that around, though on the head of the tent set.

On this day we had plans to leave somebody with our backpacks and stagger around the city like homeless people.

The first attempt was unsuccessful - 500 rubles for half a day just for backpacks. "Another show you what and how, where the porridge for 20 rubles, here is my number." Aha threw it, check it. Then they tried to write the clothes in the storage room at the station, but there the Armenians, who counted each backpack for 3 things (780 rubles total), we refused. We were a bit desperate and decided to chew on corn, at the same time ask how to solve our problem. The elderly Abkhaz offered to leave his backpacks in his room, even refused money. Cool, we go light.

We went to eat like the gods in Burger King for 300 rubles . Shied away on various shops, they spent money on every little thing.

It has always been interesting how live the city in off-season. So we decided to walk to see the areas where local people live. We chose the road that goes to the mountains. But there is also everywhere a rented apartment, but slightly cheaper.

Somewhere above the road rested against a dead end, or rather a private area with closed gates. I do not know what's next, but there were funny yards with bamboo.

Time to go down, the way back was much easier :)

Once again we ate (recently we began to spend a lot of money, disorder, almost 1000 rubles per day, it's somehow not "wild") and went for our backpacks. Everything was safe and sound, we thanked him again, buying corn, because he refused money and went to look for a place on the sea.

The reason for which I'll never go on vacation is a huge number of people on the beach, just a rookery of fur seals. We had to walk for about an hour to find at least some place to sleep, where on the outskirts in the rocks. Although even there were many people.

But a free dinner in hotels and the darkness starts to drive people off the beach. We managed to swim normally, drink wine with a couple of crayfish (they did not eat them for a hundred years, so they seduced and put 100 rubles in them) and smash the tent

In advance I apologize for the mistakes, it is very unusual to make posts from the phone.
