Summer This summer was awesome. I can't remember such a sunny and warm summer in Saint-Petersburg since I was living here. It might be warmest one in last 5 years. I love warm summer. You can go sunbathing or swimming, playing beach games such as volleyball. There are some places at Saint-Petersburg where you can have this kind of rest but not as many as in Kaliningrad. In my hometown it takes 30 minutes to reach sea by car or 40ish by public transport. There are many towns where you can go if you want chill at beach or have some sea activities. I miss sea. The Finland Gulf water is not quite clean. Also there is big crowd everywhere near the city. The best places are little bit farther from city. There are many clean lakes on south and even more on north at Karelia.
