14.05.2009

It includes visiting the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khakassia and Touva, its longitude is about 2200 kilometers, and the organizational part is so unique, that deserves a separate chapter.
A group starts its way in Krasnoyharsk and moves along the route on a comfortable bus. And tourist are almost shocked by the first "dinner-picnic in the open air", is in 268 km from Krasnoyarsk, as it is mentioned in a program. Moreover, the picnic place is located in an exotic surrounding of the ancient monuments of Scythian culture VII-VIII centuries B.C. Besides, there are no any dry rations and throw-away ware. In the due time in a stupendous by its beauty place you are met by the spread carpets and camp-chairs, plates and cups made of unbreakable French Porcelain, glasses for juice and beer, standard cover. In addtion, tourists are served by a waiter along the whole time of the tour. Vegetables, fruites, drinks - a buffet. First course is cooked on a grill by a professional cook who accompanies a group during the whole trip. The grill, ware, products and drinks are transported in a special car that moves ahead the bus. And every time, when the dinner should be in the open air, tourists are met by a ready meal and first course in the appointed time and place.
Generally, the organizers of the tour realize the whole degree of the lack of development of the South Siberia' infrastructure and the corresponding level of service, so they decided to control the matter of the tourists' catering and did that in an original way. Cook, his helper and waiter are invited from Krasnoyarsk and work in onу of the best restaurants of the city, cook and serve a group not only on the journey, but also at all accommodation sites, even at those, where local cooks work. For example, the bar of the hotel "Tourist" in the village Shusheskoye was closed for the "special service" on the date of the group' arrival - the Krasnoyarsk team ascended the throne there. The specified in the program dishes of the Russian cuisine were very tasty and the service was impeccable. By the way, Shusheskoye hotel "Tourist" was quite livable, regardless of warnings. It was built in 1970, in honor of the 100-year anniversary of Lenin, but now it's repaired and many rooms were renovated.
After the sinner the group was offered a show-excursion - you cannot call that otherwise - around the state Ethnographical museum-reserve "Shusheskoye".
