Day 11, Sochi

The night was short, extremely hot and stuffy. Slept on and off for maybe 4 hours- didnt help.
We arrived in front of the harbour in trabzon at 8 in the morning- and dropped anchor!?

But the best happened just before we got to Sochi- Dolphins jumping around the ship, beautiful!

After that though, things got hot and slower yet. We were anchoring in front of the harbour for 4h and then had to wait another 2h on the boat before being aload to approach customs. That took another 1.5h but everybody was very nice- actually the friendliest border so far. Sochi feels different to turkey, more european maybe. A lot of constructions going on- Sochi will be host to the upcoming 2014 winter olympics. Sochi is framed by the very impressive caucasian mountains- which we still have to cross the day after tomorrow.

We checked straight into the hotel (cant read name yet ;-), showered and went to eat in a nice cafe in a nearby park).
Now torrential rain …
