From Tuapse,an industrial town north west of Sochi,in a straight line from GPS map is 84km ,but actual from the road sign is 114km , the excess km must be the winding stretches .We were follwing road M-27,not only the road is winding ,ups and downs but the one that worries us most is the heavy traffic, the opposite direction has a long Q of traffic jammed.Our photos were mainly taken far from the beach on the right with a railway track .In fact we haven't had the chance to get near the beaches yet . Have lunch with macoroni chicken soup hardly can filled my hungry stomach,later at 5 pm ,both of us shared a roasted chicken (160 rur). Ride continues until a junction at 70 km mark with a small downhill road on the right.I waited for Heather and we made the right decision to take the small road that leads us to a beautiful river camping spot full of campers , under a very high bridge. We had a wonderful bathed in a man-made "jacuzzi" in the river
