My crazy day Dear diary, Today was the craziest day ever! While on the border between Russia and Abkhazia, there were crowds of cars and people and we thought it would take at least 5 hours to enter Abkhazia. Hopefully, it took only 2.5 hours and we finally left Russia behind. Obviously, we were hungry as hunters and had to stop near the first café. I tried khachapuri with cheese, lots of butter and egg, but didn`t really like it. Then we spent some time on the shingly shore. In the afternoon, we set off to Lake Ritsa. On the way, I saw lots of breathtaking views which attracted my whole attention. I also decided to bungee jump for the first time in my life! I was flying above the wide cold blue river and couldn`t close my mouth because of excitement and adrenalin, it was an unforgettable feeling, definitely I would really love to try it again. Also, while driving to Lake Ritsa, we saw booths with notes “Wine tasting” on it. I was very curious and wanted to try Abkhazian home wines, so I just couldn`t miss the opportunity. I tried 4 types of wine (just took a little sip of each one) and my favourite was the wine which was adored by Stalin. Such a strange coincidence, isn`t it? Now I can truly say that Stalyn had a perfect sense of taste in wines. As for the lake… Well, when I first took a glance at this lake, I couldn`t say a word. I wasn`t able to even believe that such a beauty exists in this world. The lake itself is perfectly blue, pure and transparent. It is surrounded with high mountains covered by trees and pieces of ice. The caps of these astonishing mountains are covered with a light haze, which blurs their outlines. Enjoying the views, we came up with the idea about taking a catamaran, which costed us 300 rubles, it`s not really expensive for such a place of great repair. I strongly believe Lake Ritsa is worth visiting. The rest of the day we ate in different cafes on the seashore, tried local food, swam on the air mattress and watched a marvelous sunset. In the evening we barely found a hotel, which turned out to be so expensive (almost 3000 rubles per person per day), but it was the best choice as it was so late and dark that we weren`t able to search for anything else. Our room in hotel was equipped with all necessary amenities. I`m very glad that we had time to see almost everything that we hoped within a day. Tomorrow we`re planning to go back to Adler, but first, we would like to see The New Athos Cave.
