This summer we decided to take a holiday by the sea. We found a nice place on the Sea of Azov (this is the sea between Ukraine and Russia on the north eastern corner of the Black Sea. We drove the 1500 KM from Moscow to the village of Kuchagorie. This took 2 day to dive. It was a long and hot journy as our car doesn't have AC and the temperture in the heart lands of Russia were over 30c.
Here we are taking a break close to the end of the first day of driving. By night fall as we found a motel for the night we had covered 1000KM (For you car buffs our car a VW Sharan TDI done all this on a little less that one tank of desiel)
By mid afternoon on the second day we reached our distination "The Sea of Azov"
This is the place we would stay in for our 10 days by the sea. it was only 150 meters from the beach above
Our kids enjoy every minute they could be on the beach and in the sea
After our time at the sea we spent a few days in Krasnodar to visit some of our friends we had made during the four and a half years we lived there. Then we decided to try and make the journy of 1300km back to Moscow in one day, so leaving Krasnodar at 7am we arrive in Moscow just after midnight. Woo what a journy, I am not sure if I want to do that again real soon!
