My childhood trips

by bugulma - last update: Mar 9, 2004

Pyatigorsk

Tourist
It was great travel, one of the wonderful in my life. Mild climate and mountains, mountains, mountains. I've been there with my parents. We had excursion in Kislovodsk to mineral water springs, in Nalchick to mountains. Besides I'd seen Elbrus, the highest peak in Russia. It's place I recommend to visit. In the picture I've got a "USSR tourist" sign in the peak of Beshtau Mountain (1402 m).
Honey Waterfall

Mountains around

In the picture I am in the front of HoneyWaterfall with my father. The waterfall got its name because the bees lived here years ago.
Lermontov's duel place

Lermontov's (Russian fampous poet) duel place

It used to be very popular in Russia in XIX century to defend honour by taking part in the duel. But it depends on luck and many good people died in this dangerous competition. Pushkin and Lermontov, the famous Russian poets of that time, were killed in duels.
