From Kaluga to Ryazan.

Before leaving Kaluga, we headed for breakfast at Slasten's breakfast cafe on Teatralnaya Street. There is a rather wide range of desserts and homemade dishes, especially homemade cheesecakes with jam and sour cream, as well as pancakes with cheese and bacon.

The first stop on that day was a birch forest near the village of Boldasovka, Kaluga region. The area is not very populated here, so the walk is likely to take place in complete solitude. If you walk three hundred meters deep into the thicket, you can go to the bank of a small river Horschnia.

On the border of Tula and Kaluga regions, on the northern outskirts of the city Alexin there is a huge pine forest, the border of which is located almost near the bank of the river Oka. If you choose the right time of the trip, you'll most likely find here various mushrooms and berries.

TOMATO pizza & pasta, a small pizzeria in Alexin's center, was the place where we had lunch this day. The menu is not limited to pizza, there are several kinds of soups, salads, as well as snacks and desserts. For example, we liked the marinara pasta and pancakes with cherry and apple.

In the afternoon we went further and, being on the road for about an hour, decided to make a stop near a small lake near the village of Spicino. Its shores are decorated with rare birches, there are several small beaches, and if you go far away, you will find yourself in a birch grove.

The evening walk today will take place near the small village of Grace of the Moscow region on the shores of a local pond, which is some distance from the road and is surrounded by endless fields and expanses. Small trees also rarely grow near the pond.

The cozy cafe "Like Mom's" was where we spent the evening. It has a very cozy interior and a quiet atmosphere, the choice of dishes is quite wide, there is both national and European cuisine.

Today we have traveled a huge distance, passed a lot of beautiful places, and now we have to go on vacation, because tomorrow promises to be very busy.
