I started planning a trip to the sea a year before the vacation. I saved up money, chose a place of rest, solved the issue of housing. I wanted to organize a good vacation for my family and at the same time, so that it was not very expensive. My calculations turned out to be correct, since I met the specified amount.
The wife had a two-week vacation, so they decided to go for 11 days. The road takes two days. The total time including the road is 15 days. We left on Sunday morning and just had time to return so that my wife could go to work on time.
The total cost of the holiday should include the costs of preparing for the trip. The cost of a suitcase, clothes, medicines, some equipment and every little thing. About 10,000 rubles were spent on this. The family consists of 4 people, two adults and two children (10 years old and 5 years old).
We decided to get there by train. We bought 3 adult tickets and 1 child ticket. The total cost of travel to Adler and back was 20,000 rubles. This is the most inexpensive way, but not entirely easy, because for two days in a reserved seat carriage and without air conditioning, not everyone will want to go. On July 1, we arrived in Adler. On July 11, there were tickets back.
They decided to live in the private sector, in a private guest house. The location was good and inexpensive. Distance to the sea 1 km, walk 10 minutes. There was no noise from the road, from the railway and the airport. The cost of a room for 4 people is 1400 rubles per day. For 11 days, it turns out 15,400 rubles. The room had a TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, toilet and shower. There was a dining room on the ground floor.
We swam every day. The children squealed with delight. The sea is clean, there is no dirt and does not smell. All beaches are pebbly. The water is clear in the morning.
The biggest expenses were on food. The cost of lunch was 800 rubles. They spent about 2,000 rubles a day on food. This amount includes: ice cream for 40 rubles, water for 80 rubles for 0.5 liters. Only 22,000 rubles for 11 days. We ate in different places, prices differ, but not so much. The most important thing is that the eating place is not very far away. This is very convenient, as it saves time on moving to the dining room and back. Therefore, we dined on the first floor of the guest house.
The main expenses, which will be in any case, include the cost of travel, accommodation and meals. These are compulsory expenses. Additional costs include entertainment and excursions.
You can spend a lot of money on vacation. Everything you have with you is easy to use up. There are many entertainments and temptations, I want to try everything, see and go everywhere. If you do not control costs, then spend all the money.
I liked the dolphinarium very much. The ticket price is 500 rubles. For 4 people 2000 rubles.
The cost of a ticket to the aquarium is 500 rubles, for a total of 2,000 rubles.
A ticket to the Sochi circus costs 800 rubles, for a family 3200 rubles.
We went to Adler to see the film "Transformers 4" in 3D. The ticket costs 300 rubles.
We went to the Aquapark before leaving so as not to get burned. Admission for adults is 800 rubles, 400 rubles for children from 3 to 7 years old.
We went to the Olympic Park and Krasnaya Polyana. We spent 4000 rubles on excursions.
In the Riviera Park in the city of Sochi, 2,000 rubles were spent.
Total expenses for entertainment are 17,300 rubles.
During the rest they bought different things and different little things. Before leaving, we bought some souvenirs and gifts. And also it was necessary to buy food for two days. They spent about 5,000 rubles on this.
The total expenses for the rest amounted to 89,700 rubles.
My family is happy with their vacation in Adler. I liked everything very much. We do not regret the money spent at all. If we choose a place to rest, then we will go to Adler again.
