Fyodor Konyukhov, Afanasy Nikitin, Colin O'Brady and many other people, who have decided to do a leap into the unknown. Perhaps the same part of the soul has been given to me at birth by one of them. I've come to find a great deal of respect for the history and culture of such people in the student time by books and movie. As a boy, I have got a wish to be there where those people have been and live with the consequences of the decisions taken. So, when the opportunities arise to travel, I don't think for a minute to reject a sudden gift. The sudden gift requirements careful attitude for it. I mean the planning of a trip. This important step has not been the exclusion in the Sicily trip to the southern part of Italy. It would be imprudent to tell the story about aspects such as to pack the suitcase or to take advantage of cheaper tickets which are included in the life of each person. Nevertheless, important point relates to my trips is the collection and processing of information about region, nature and traditional which are needed to respect. So, because of this approach, I have managed to find information about a treasure which was hidden under stones near a seaboard by the host of a travel show. And this was a week before my trip. Wonderfully. Everyone could think that it is a sign of destiny. The treasure must be understood as an old wine bottle in which is inside 100$. It's not bad the sign of destiny for budget travellers. But to almost collected backpack one more travel trousers, a jacket, some food, an additional 2 pairs socks and a map with the location of the treasure and hostel have been fairly added. Next thing I have known that I'm to be going all night in the autobus which is headed toward Catania city of Sicily region. It's activist vacation, is what it is and the whole world's off its axis. And in the mind is just one thing about prejudging of the outcome as I'll be holding on that 100$ in my hands. I think that it's understandable. It isn't every day manage to find the treasure. It's not surprising that a first stop hasn't been the hostel. The time is running out. I had to do much work. The first difficulties with which I had met between me and the treasure under stones near the seaboard were a big fence and a police post at both ends. Something inside me didn't want to give up and I thought that hey, the popular travel show could not do some illegal. And this instigated me to come out the next step and difficulties. The second difficulties were that the first step at another side of the big fence was the step on a sea urchin which is being stabbed boot and stocked out of the foot by the needle. I believe the sea urchin didn't like that too. The third difficulties were stones. Have you seen stones? It’s looked alike. Finally, there's no need to forget and I had forgotten that in the morning near the sea it's really cold. Especially in December. I have frozen on that day. And so began my quest which lasted until exhaustion without success, while I haven't decided climbing down to get relax and snack near the sea. I met a girl, who has been there for the same reason that and me. She's kind of nice looking near the sea and also desperate for attention. She said tail that the treasure had been found by another seeker of happiness. After she has shared a plaid with me which was knitted by her grandmother. I made a promise to give back the plaid to her later which I haven’t given back yet. We spent the rest of the day together. Probably, I was able to find the treasure. And so I have packed again my kit into the backpack to visit Saint Petersburg, and to meet her, and leap into the unknown.
