Adventures in berdyansk or how much is the fish?

27 October

At the distance of 56 miles from Mariupol there’s a health resort named Berdyansk where the seawater is much cleaner than in Mariupol and the air is not so polluted with the dust and coke of the manufactures. The pilgrims decided to find out what this town is like and why popular local little fish is called Berdyansky.

Having walked along the most amazing quay the team of pilgrims started to explore the nearest and the farthest cape going to the Sea of Azov. The local fishermen gave them their fishing rods and let them fish. Within only 30 minutes they managed to catch about 20 big and mid size fishes, got much pleasure and shared their catch with the fishermen.

The pilgrims took pictures with the Berdyansky- fish- monument on purpose. Namely here the guys got to know why the Berdyansky fish is considered the symbol of the town. During the Great Patriotic War it saved of starving the inhabitants of Berdyansk and surrounding areas. The period of catch of this relatively small fish is almost all the year round. Thus, it had become practically a symbol of life.

After a walk around the park of Lt.Shmidt the travelers wanted to visit a zoo and a museum but, unfortunately, they didn’t get the permission to enter there for free. But the guys still were pleased with the trip: the health resort amazed them with its elegance and compactness. Sure enough one of the most memorable things if a picnic they had on their way back.
Many children from “Pilgrim” have never been on the tours and excursions before and that is why the new life full of adventures in God is only beginning for them.
