This summer I went with my parents for a vacation in Sochi . On arrival in the city I immediately struck by subtropical plants . Huge cypress trees like the poplar , but surprised their uniqueness . Fir trees , palms and other lush exotic trees and shrubs were my first sight of Sochi .The first day we went to the Black Sea and then went there every day . Swimming, sunbathing , built castles . I jumped from the water slides so that the breath away ! But most of all I remember the first meeting with the sea. Walking barefoot on the hot pebbles , I flopped into a big foamy waves ! I was in weightlessness and stood on his feet far beyond the point where jumped into the water . Truth be told that the sea - a great power !Once Sochi is in the mountains as in the bowl. Mountains are very close and beckon to him . However, to go there we could not . But we went to the Dolphinarium .
The dolphins I really liked it . Large fur seals , sea lions and walruses just seemed sluggish . They are very active and fun to play with balls and catch fishes owed ​​to them as a reward . A quick and nimble dolphins and toothed whales beluga jumps from a springboard . They were very cheerful and friendly , they can be ironed. We took pictures with them .
