In Yalta

Our last camp was made near the final point of our travel - Yalta. The slope of the mountain has appeared to be too inclined so we set up our tents just on the forest road. No one went this road until the morning, so we had got quiet night.
In the morning we went to Yalta - one of the most popular cities in the southern coast of Crimean peninsula. Our tourist trip with backpacks and tens was over and we finally could enjoy a simple walk in the center of this beautiful city. We also went to the city quay and saw Black Sea. A few hours later we leaved Yalta by mountain trolleybus (the longest trolleybus line in Europe) and returned to Simferopol.
Here are some photos from the last day of our travel.

Yaltynska yaila

The next stage of our travel was the most higher in the whole trip. For more then an hour we were going along Yaltyska yaila into clouds at a high of 1300-1500 meters. The road ran on the edge of yaila. And if the weather was good we would see a broad landscape on the south with the Black See on the horizon.
Thus, only when we went mountain Djady-Burun and started to come down from yaila, we left the clouds and we could at least see all the landscapes below. They were amazing. You just can see in these pictures:
