This report is about the tour: Romantic collection
A few words about the “Romantic Collection” hike, May 2-10, 2009.
I wanted to write to you as soon as I returned from the hike, but I was in some kind of stupor, now it seems that I have moved away. Thank you, thank you for your site. My long-term dream has come true. Every year when I get to Crimea in May, I lick my lips with envy at the backpackers, thinking that this is not realistic for me...
As the years passed, I grew fatter and weaker, and suddenly this happened. I did it! I did it. Thanks to Sorokin and all the guys. There were so many young and strong people around that you yourself become younger and stronger, I was ashamed to give in, although a couple of times my backpack was taken away from me.
There was everything - water, snow, hail, and there was also the sun, mountains in flowers, adventures, and the state of complete happiness that one can experience. And how many new and wonderful people I met.
But the most important one is, of course, Sorokin (instructor). He's amazing. He knows all the moves from memory, and has the unique ability to lead a motley group of tourists from point to point without falling behind schedule. At the same time, he does not put pressure and sees all the needs of his followers.
I would write a review on your site, but I do not have sufficient literary skills. I’ll ask one of “our people” to do this; we had professional linguists with us.
Farewell photograph, photographed by Sorokin, I am fourth from the right.
I hope it's not the last time.
