In the morning I said goodbye to Grozny. From south bus terminal (avtovokzal) there are minibuses (marshrutka) to Makhachlala – the capital of Dagestan. The problem is that they are departing only when they are full. You are coming and you have to wait. Fortunately I was waiting only 40 minutes. Then it was 2,5 hours and only 150 roubles to pay. It is 32 deg Celsius today! In the old minibus they do not have a/c. Heat and dust!.
In Makhachkala I was forced to change bus terminal northern to southern. City bus 43A goes there. Then I was waiting for the departure of the second marshrutka going to the Kubachi in the mountains. Great views on the way… But it was already dark when we reached this mountain village. No hotel or guest house here. Where to go? I was lucky to be invited for the night by the lovely local people. Thank you Abdulhalik & Pierdaz!
