\nThe October 7, 2017 trip route<\/p>\n
The auto-run was simply wonderful! <\/p>\n
The \u201csky administration\u201d didn\u2019t fail (grand thanks!) – the day was warm, sunny and dry!
\nI admit that I\u2019d completely forgotten about one of the trip participants due to the intensity of the previous weeks. He reminded about himself the night before the trip\u2026 But we\u2019d already counted everyone up and planned the space for the people! There were two Patrols and one Zaporozhets (!) scheduled for the trip. So this situation was far from being comfortable. I gave it a little thought and decided to take the Hedgehog together with the forgotten Tyoma.
\nThe start was delayed – we were waiting for the two people who didn’t show up in the end. So Tyoma and I were seated in the Patricia, and the Hedgehog stayed in the city. Being able to avoid driving her with the leaking oil and the weak clutch was nice. In the end it came out to be the best choice, because the Patricia\u2019s owner had not been used to the long and complicated distances, so we took our turns to drive the car.
\nThe route was simple. It was Myropillya and Zapsillya first, and then Mogrytsya. Had it been the other way around, we would have been stuck in those thrilling hills until the night instead of enjoying the architecture))).<\/p>\n
\nThe October 7, 2017 trip route<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to say anything about the road – for there\u2019d been so many times we had discussed those ghosts. What I can say – we did collectively admire the might and the magic of the Zaporozhets, though.
\nSo, we\u2019re driving somewhere between the Bohodykhiv and Akhtyrka\u2026 I\u2019m driving the Patricia – the second one in the column. I keep looking at the speedometer and the rearview mirror. It\u2019s 60 km\/h, and the Zaporozhets keeps steady behind me. It\u2019s 70, 80, 90, 100\u2026 a 110 – and it\u2019s still there! We\u2019ve remembered all the jokes we could about Zaporozhets cars))). And the route was not getting easier, with Trostyanets and the road behind it… Well, the Zaporozhets did lag behind a few times, but he always caught up with us and kept the speed up again. Our admiration and respect had no limits!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There was only one \u201cbut\u201d in the situation – on the meadow we chose for a picnic in Mogrytsya, the muffler of this cutie was already laying near the car, and one of the discs had changed its shape to an odd and cropped one\u2026
\nSo – our first spot was the Myropillya village. The previous time we drove by it in the dark, and had no chance for observing and filming all of the beauty.<\/p>\n

\nThis is the refectory, which is now used as a church, while the main building is being <\/p>\n

\nWe managed to ask the monks to let us climb up the bell tower:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But before we were almost forced into taking a tour around the refectory\/church, with a detailed story about some wonder icon that helps to get children\u2026 A very long and detailed one. \u201cAnd now I\u2019ll sell you some candles and show you the second floor\u2026\u201d I do not have anything against churches and faith of any kind. But this was not funny anymore – especially after 20 minutes of the speech.
\nBut then they did let us go to the bell tower. We were warned that we had to take the responsibility for the fear and the risk. And there really was quite a lot of fear and risk ). The height was remarkable, and not all of the carcass stairs had any railing\u2026<\/p>\n

We managed to touch the bells. They had been ordered from some far-away place. They do sound remarkably well))<\/p>\n

\nGoing down was even more scary, naturally))<\/p>\n
The next spot was very close nearby – the Zapsillya village. The grand copy of the roman cathedral grasped our attention and didn\u2019t allow noticing anything else)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And then – Mogrytsya! Oh, there\u2019s so much we have already told about it! But it is impossible to put in words just how calm, joyful and peaceful you get just by having a walk there. <\/p>\n
Sometimes the joy is very loud, when the hill is being taken with a bunch of the passengers inside)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We could not have any food before everyone had enough driving, since all of the food was in the Patrols)). I know they will come running and shouting now – what food are you talking about, when there are the coolest hills ever near us! Well, the drive is the best, of course, but eating would not be a bad thing either – it is hard to go more than 10 hours powered by the adrenaline only))
\nAnd after the picnic, we had almost 2 hours before going home. We used it for having a walk around)<\/p>\n

Next was the night trip home, a problem with the Zaporozhets wheel, taking everyone home, and the 1 am arrival to our house.
