Funny, you would think the Aussie's would have the killer tans. (Anatoly and Nas)Since returning from the resort, the last two days have been packed full of activities.
Saturday night Anton, ksusha, Nas and I went clubbing. Now stayed tuned, for clubbing in Russia is one hell of a culture shock. I will post commentary on this unusual phenomena latter.
Sunday saw us rise at a conservative Russian hour of 11am. The family, Anatoly, Nadia, Nas and I, then packed our bags and headed for the beach. Wow, these Russians really take advantage of the sunshine: as when we arrived it was more like trying to find a spot at a rock concert. Now, forget about just taking a towel, water bottle and maybe a book, that would be completely under prepared. Russians take everything: table, chairs, pretty much the whole contents of the fridge, alcohol (good selection of beer, wine and spirits), blow up swimming pools for the kids, BBQ facilities (so that you can cook your meat by the water), umbrella, the list is endless.
So off we go to the beach at around 1pm. Pretty much the process of eat, drink, swim revolved six or seven times.
Cooking comprised of heading to the water, setting up a rock perimeter for your fire, and then roasting your meats over the open fire place. Forget about fire bans, as every family along the beach had their own open fire place.
Before you knew it the time was 8 pm, and still the sun had not let up. I have the third degree sun burns to prove it. The sun goes down here in Vladivostok at around 10pm, so there is plenty of time for outdoor activities well into the night.

Love the beach made of rocks!!!!! OUCH!
Yeah, it was interesting lying down to catch some rays. Great if you wanted some trigger point therapy.
