News from Listvyenka

We were on the beach, the sun was going down, and I asked Vicky to marry me....she said yes.

It was the end of a beautiful day, we'd woken up in a a bed for the first time in a few days, in a lovely little wooden house. After a bit of a lie in and a breakfast of fresh fruit be walked to a local Banya (Russian Baths) and had an hour with the place to ourselves - there was a sauna, a plunge pool and a chill out area.

After the banya, and feeling nice and clean we sat in a cafe by the lake and had some lunch with a couple of beers and just relaxed.

We met a couple at the cafe (Rock and Sveta) and went with them to a local beach. We sat in amongst the stunning scenery while the sun went down and it just felt perfect so I asked the question.

We are very excited! but don't worry, we won't be married before we come home.
