Summer hiking. Part 5. Visual story of 6 photos.

 Good day, dear Hivean friends! I continue my saga about the hike. This is already the fifth part, and I am still describing the first day (evening). This is because the main task is to show pictures. And graphomania - so, for the appendage.

 After dinner, our instructor girls prepared a surprise. A whole cake and champagne as one of the young men in our group had a birthday. Champagne, however, could be more. But it was okay too. We sang "Happy Birthday," as it should be, ate a cake, and were about to go to bed. At least my mommy and Kostya definitely wanted to sleep already.

 But another surprise was waiting for us - initiation into water men. This is such a quest. Not everyone can do it.

 I had to walk along a dark forest road in the rain, and my legs were moving apart on clay soil. It's good that mom and Kostya didn't go; he would be all dirty. Finally, we reached a particular place in the forest and saw the rise of the waterfall. It was beautiful there; candles were placed along the edges of the waterfall. It was all so romantic and mysterious. The water ran down the rocks we climbed over. But one way or another, they all crawled to the top. There was a merman with an oar.

 There was nothing to lose; I was still all wet; I stuck my head under the jets of the waterfall and got an oar on the fifth point. And thus, I was recognized as a suitable person for the upcoming boat rowing. The kids loved the event. We returned to the tents and went to bed. It's good that by that time, the rain had stopped, and we were able to hang our wet things to dry here in this hut.
