The first part of travel writing from my trip to Georgia in September of this year. They invited me on this journey from the office car magazine " Auto Review "and, despite various rumors about this country and about the intimidation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I gladly accepted, as in the future never looked ... 
1. Starting the rally was scheduled for early Saturday morning. It so happened that after returning from the Ukrainian travel on Friday night, I passed the car, came home, cleaned up, packed up, slept a couple of hours and went to Georgia, many thanks to my family for their patience! Since I missed the kick-off meeting, the details of traveling, I do not know. As a result, the travel route was as follows: 
2. First day there is nothing interesting, we went half way back to where I just got back yesterday. I'm either asleep or processed Ukrainian pictures. We drove slowly, especially in the column were six cars! At a roadside cafe "Fairy Tale" fed us delicious, and I gradually became acquainted with avtorevyushnikami ... 
3. Almost all the time I was riding in the car with Bones Sorokin, as it has always led the peloton, it was obvious what was going to come. Go to the column of six cars was much more difficult and slower than I had expected. Six times harder than alone. For example, when the spring we were traveling on the same machine in Uzbekistan , the first day we were able to fly to Astrakhan, and this time we did not even have time to get to Voronezh. 
4. Scenery along the road is not pleased - the fields, forests, but traders watermelons, melons. I thought I would rather get to Elista, there must have started wondering ... 
5. Suddenly the radio message: "The guys on the field, you have something from the bottom has fallen off ..." From a Niva flew rubber parts and got right in the Skoda. They stopped and looked around the bottom, but did not notice anything suspicious. You never know what could have come off Niva like to further movement this case is not affected. Niva as was the slowest in the convoy, and has remained ... 
6. At Volgograd hot meals we were not tempted and limited only to refuel vehicles. 
7. 
8. Volgograd After a little drive on the fields, pofografirovalis ... 
9. Kalmykia met us with a terrible Stella, heaps of garbage and choked Opel. We prepared for the meeting with the traffic police, about which a legend, if they are fined for any excess, even by 1 km / h, disguised as bushes and arrange a treacherous ambush! 
10. But the cops on the road was not. We drove and admired the dull steppe landscapes. 
11. Crews were talking on the radio, discussing the driving quality cars, future view article notes recorded on a tape recorder. It was interesting to listen to conversations and sometimes very funny (sense of humor avtorevyushnikov the mark, especially with Ivan Shadricheva). 
12. And here is the first police post! Still far from us in tychat wand and stop. But instead of checking the documents policeman asked to sum up Elista Woman Alma. What a surprise! But why not help? She sat in a Suzuki SX4, and we continued on. 
13. The city had to go for another two hours. Caring sign warns of the dangerous stretch of road - from dull landscape you can go crazy, or go to sleep and fly out of the way. In this monotonous undulating plot our fellow traveler so seasick in Suzuka, she broke down and asked her to land in the desert. 
14. Our column, but without Alma. 
15. The beginning of the trip all the machines I really liked the Nissan Qashqai. 
16. 
17. So it got to Elista, without incident. 
18. Elista disappointed me. 
19. Town quite like the only times items scoop pleased ... According to the mood somewhat similar to Baikonur . 
20. Once there was Olympiad chess, but it was so long ago ... 
21. 
22.'s Clouds in Elista wonderful! 
23. Locals. 
24. To me, as a person who is not versed in the nations, all the people on one person - one Mongols. 
25. 
26. 
27. Elista is the capital of chess, somewhere in the area I expect to see a huge chessboard with beautiful carvings ... In reality it was more modest - a chess board 5x5 meters and a cheap plastic figures. Any weak hotel in Egypt or Turkey has something similar on their beach, but chess capital of not called. Behind the visible range of "Pagoda 7 days." 
28. The field is located in the central Lenin Square, where young people like to get together for romantic meetings and visits. For youth and chess players from the pedestal he is watching my father. 
28. 
29. 
30. Pride Elista - the largest Buddhist temple in the Republic - the new central khurul "Golden Abode of Buddha Shakyamuni", which is the highest in Europe, a statue of the Buddha. 
31. Five years ago the temple was erected on the site of the old factory of concrete products with the blessing of the head of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama XIV, who visited Elista in 2004 on a pastoral visit. The temple is a magnificent building, where prayers are performed, rituals and festive worship service. Along the perimeter of the structure is enclosed by a fence with alternating every five meters of white sand stupas. Just around khurul has 108 stupas. 
32. Upsets quality finishing of the Temple. Whether the materials are cheap, either badly done. In some places the walls still not completed, and the other tiles are falling off. 
33. 
34. 
35. All painted in bright colors. 
36. Some paint has faded and start obluplyatsya as if the Temple for many, many years. 
37. 
38. On the pillars and railing clearly saved ... 
39. Buddhist monk in Russian. 
40. This prayer hall with a 12-timetrovoy statue of Buddha Sakyamuni. Inside the statue laid sacred objects - mantras, incense, jewelry, handfuls of earth from all regions of the country, growing on the territory of Kalmykia plants and grasses. The statue itself is covered with gold leaf and encrusted with diamonds. 
41. 
42. 
43. County town of Chess City, the center of which is the Palace of Chess, built for holding chess tournaments and competitions. Here we stopped for the night. The cabins themselves were good, but the restaurant is not. Horrible service with prices above srednemoskovskih not surprising that I have not met a single visitor there. 
44. The Morning cows had to admire on an empty stomach, as the chef in our restaurant just wake up at 9, and at that time we were on the border with Dagestan.
