peace in libya as an easy out this an island for a new photogs between kind of position rebels it's also cold for russia and the african union to act as needed as are the creditors and boys touring the region in an effort to broker peace. time not to dodge the snow it's stereotype that most people apply to russia has no need big bikini clad bathers of the black sea resort after next. if you're taking your first trip to russia you'll probably be more inclined to pack a fur coat rather than a bucket and spade but if you have down south of the chrism of the region you'll find long sandy beaches and hundreds of kilometers of beautiful coastline literally millions of people flock here for their holidays every year proof that while russia may be famous for its snow and skiing there's plenty of sun sand and see here as

well. a local flavor of this is the longest developed by in winter in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle is this lady a white bra it's supposed to represent the hopes dreams and beauty of the beach. and it's a stunning place the resort supreme by the background of the cajun mountains and on a sunny day of the seascapes can rival anything you might find in the greek islands and if you want to see the area in its full glory you just have to jump into a cable car. be the way to do it on this hike you. straight up and. you get a pretty good view on the way up here but i think i want to go just

a little bit higher and also it's an excuse to affairs up here you can find the black seas equivalent of the london eye although admittedly this is a little more retro. so we're going to the most technologically advanced roi it's on safety equipment. there's a big coal. just stops working now that would be. five minutes to get to the top burned if you. mr kling you're in for a treat. this is the highest roy. black sea kurds were out thousand meters above the sea level. disco it's incredible. when the interviewer probably. they were. tourist stores who arrive here in april and the season can continue into oct. truncheons and me area

are geared to appeal to the whole family and i want to check out one of its newest success stories. people come from all over russia to visit the black sea coast but if you're looking for a different sort of multiculturalism it's probably a pretty good place to start. to farm boy names here this is simply called old park and actually it's not very old to take a walk around and you'll soon get the picture. oh who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here you've got the pyramids of egypt. temples of ancient greece. and even a roman billion dollar less time than it takes. architect alexander alexei of open look back in two thousand and four with an ambitious plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the space for east west

caucasus russia. these architectural structures are filled with substance and as you look around you begin to realize that the culture of humankind is a simple system of many cultures corded it's embrace is the whole period from ancient design through all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas dedicated to more than ten different cultures and he was alone will to be paid all respects to zeus and we found ourselves in ancient egypt. maybe a little smaller than the pyramid of giza but it's based on but it's certainly boasting some foreign acoustics. are going to some gold roll was listening he called them so impressed with all singing as it probably began to rain it was

a perfect moment going to head into wars and visit the banks medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. here we are. this is our territory that is and that's one of the things that are am is to build a space where architecture and nature so merge into the harmony where we all want to be more new which is. but if your fortune has something to do with water it's also probably a pretty good place to start and if you go there early enough they'll be plenty of fisherman says here for the morning catch. one of the best things to me about coming to the coast is that sells the house and breastfeed so that's why we're on board neptune here as he's going to take us to the place we've been collecting down there. because sam. will work from the stir. so gave his crew a mussel an oyster farmers bailing even grieving the tasty mollusks for three years

but they're already proving very popular. that yes i can tell you that as far as r.c. franson is concerned about this is a budding market. three ational a people here eight shish kabob sunfish and now there's a great demand for see who are not only locally but also in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere there were no shelf asian oysters in the many of our restaurants only local people like you coca shellfish for a very long time. so those poll of how xander is an oyster don't have been and once they've arrived to the beds he still begins. the boats on the. we're in the right place at the sink because. there were once everything secure the cash has to be loaded into the robots and that's where the hard work begins if you're not

a fan of dirty jobs is probably isn't for you each will pretty much guarantee easy was sea water shower. on soft fingers and plenty of on welcome guests. little crowds are there as well as going to stop by pick because about. them soon can be surprisingly hard to find. so this kind of reading program apparent doesn't yield too many oysters they're quite rare so you see we've got tons and tons of mussels but only little choice is hidden among them. it's more like. a point even a needle in a haystack. gave his crew. this still huge demand for fresh mussels locally armed in moscow and there's definitely no shortage of them. so this is going to be one of the biggest seafood coffees you're ever likely to see you've got a lot under twenty muscles a few invading crabs in place and of course the old press is always there it's not

often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately on an oyster boat there's no shortage of experience because. most of us are ok so. it'll be the most romantic setting to try one of nature's great aphrodisiacs you don't get much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i had my long journey over water but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count oysters all mussels among the smallest of gold screeches swimwear there's intelligent animals. well when you find a black sea and tough to find. them. below . here is a story. is that the sun will. say hello to zurich.

you know three beautiful. they've been living in performing here of the dolphinarium for more than ten years and they've got their breaking technique down to a foreign oh that's. right this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think. this one is greed. is good and theirs is the best way to get quickly. to share their breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for something bigger goes. they go. in a row the fights i've won the. rivalry. and.

seen are in the car around two hundred fifty kilos and zurich tips the scales over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food for everyone. so the girls eat sixteen kilos of pressure they go through a c. . if you measure how many of these but it's yeah i know me is still graciously hungry and that means that he's going to run through his room seems there's a real don't know if i'm looking at first i'm sure to him to attract his attention and then you throw it. you know maybe. an excess that could come on. oh. well ok now we've killed her love of. god really

don't sing. wait a little bit. of the heart of the season hundreds of people come to see zorak and his girlfriends every day and practice a certain image of faith. and. i get the feeling he's disturbed. by. this is the first thought i might have the chance to get up close and personal with. james to get ready now take it was better looking possibly much and it's. going to be one of the most amazing experiences.

you can get to grow so much of your it doesn't mean that nothing ever will. go this amazing feat. although i could do the lesson it's a graceful exit. two things first. and a decent way. look at my gym and. thankfully impeached don't think is a rest of the black sea coast but you can find quite a few on welcome additions to the shoreline. unfortunately like many other resorts around the world a black sea coast has its own problems with but as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure for in this case another woman's treasure first

. oh she runs away from public probably in sacks production and some bottles here you can see waste from show's production just like you was. filling and used sacks seven years ago kiefer of a gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and amar mentalist. recycling is still rare in russia and the scarlet letter is a common sides and then has opened the white horse gallery to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area. it's always a pain to see the earth turn into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in vain the trash was not getting smaller many people just don't understand me i don't know how to explain it to them my idea is to make people remember my work and everything that i have taken care of before their litter i want them to remember my

beloved lexie and the fish it will be great if they begin doing such things even better than me i mean or offer to give me a quick lesson in how to make plastic fantastic those things are let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition for name is biggest installation a sculpture of it's intended to represent the whole of the black sea first let's get rid of unnecessary stuff here is the fairmont gun take a look it's not clear if with a fish yet but now we're going to shape it look here is the tail. and now we're going to color it and it will become absolutely fabulous star of the. painting here. bryant that's right or yes beautiful. text and no you should shake it a little bit to let the paint spread the most about only can certainly round let me

paint forwards and. i wasn't exactly sure what breed of fish we were creating but it was pretty colorful and once the finishing touches had been added and was ready to take its place in the gallery forward to go here we go james and here is here to make this work now you have your own face complex see how that's right you into the sea find a nice place behind hope she'll have a happy life. amazing thing you can transform this rubbish and something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who see it i do think it will get more chuck away that much. but taking a look at that sculpture of the black sea reminded me of another thing i haven't quite have the time for us. i've been so busy here in the textile was talking about what i think. it is up here.

the. fish. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the plumbers this is and charge

it up and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for many wildlife in antarctica. and friends an. expedition to the bottom of the earth on our. fish. if. so far more trip or have a chance to meet a few of the black season a read on the most but i've heard that up there in the hills there were plenty more who preferred troy limes the least most of the time this isn't just an ordinary zoo it's a rescue and the retirement center for injured and forming animals like bass without is enjoying her early morning paul. for more than sixty different species i met up

with his keeper. until he started working here three years ago because i was a hunter but it seems like the animals don't overly cautious. let's go buddy this is the himalayan bear both mellow don't you want to say how long you want to have fun and months is only ten months old screwing like a weed. now but when he gets bigger. it's going to be about a hundred. and i think he's. great i'm having fun and biting everything in his meat. every careful. that's i. think to lose a handful went to the latest friends next to live. is a demanding baby. with

a grandmother in northeast he was living in a simple flat for a long time is more than ten years old grandmother has brought him here some three years ago she was a very old woman she brought to bear here in a car without any cage just using a leash she cooked a big delicious cake for him that grandmother is just too old to look after him. just sort of as a bad living in a granny flat now and he is. a bit big spare room with me. i've never seen one might have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life talk to do little and little in hopes that the thousands of visitors who come to the park take a new appreciation of the animals away with them. having survived more visits to the safari park and minor cuts and bruises i think it was time to visit one of the black seas more sedate stores to tractions and maybe get myself something to eat. moving in and quite quickly about the russians is that they love their bread

whether it's grown growing it pretty much comes with everything we just call it strains in the two years i've been traveling around this country i've never seen one of those. it's a replica of a mill that was grinding flour in this area more than a century ago and with the help of a few modern improvements it's back in business. yes the history of this company is fairly typical of russia. founded in eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in one thousand eight hundred just. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was really in physical and hammer and was in service until the early one nine hundred sixty s. . a few years ago the original mill was stripped transported and rebuilt here and the old gears were given a new lease of life. there are some new parts to this window but it really is a timeless bit of engineering first glaxo by the wind power and that

energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original nineteenth century mechanism still running day . which moves these two parts up into the grinding stone. and we get flour the same way it's been used for hundreds. and making it is a really simple process the so. they get. now follow me. here is the receiving bunker part of this week here. now in the process of how already underway plenty of bleeding and baking later it was time for a snack. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is

a miller. and fresh bread maybe there are. about. this mill maybe an example of the region's recent history of their own relics along the shoreline that date back to antiquity. this is the ancient city of gold was home to thousands of people until it was destroyed in the third century a.d. and it's one of the best preserved examples. of an eighteen city on the rocks and cursed agreed to settle here names the city after samarium came and its ruins cover around forty hectares it's still possible to wander through the so is of great houses and you can even discover the citizens paper a temple i bet it would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of good because it's the remains of an ancient winery people will cross the grapes here the juice then would come down these pirates and into these enormous vats.
