Sochi, Adler, Krasnaya Polyana. Days 9-12

On the morning of May 15, 2016, we left Krasnodar for Adler. At first the road was easy, but then the serpentine began, our speed dropped to almost nothing, the drive dragged on for a long time, and my girlfriend started feeling sick from all the turns. I, on the other hand, felt fine and even began to enjoy that kind of road.

After arriving in Adler and checking in, we headed straight to the Olympic Park, where there were many large venues. We rented bicycles and rode around the whole area. Later we watched the evening fountain and light show

and then returned to the hotel.

The next morning it rained, and we did almost nothing. The day after that the weather improved slightly, but not enough, so we only made a scouting trip to Krasnaya Polyana.

The following day the weather improved further and the forecast looked good. We drove to Krasnaya Polyana to take the cable car up into the mountains. The ascent there is also split into three stages, and at one of the stages there is some kind of free sightseeing lift.

It was very beautiful at the top

Next came the road along the Black Sea coast toward Anapa.
