We woke up at 12 o‘clock from a much needed sleep. The tour yesterday had been both long and hard.
We worked on getting the trailers ready for use. Andrei, which has been most helpful and fixed us up with everything we need, came and invited us to a sauna down at Oasis. We were very surprised to hear that they had a sauna here. The sauna was extremely hot and Andrei hit us with branch which I understand is a Russian tradition. He gave us a special treatment and this was supposed to be very healthy and good for you! Afterwards we went to the camp and met Vladimir who is in charge there. He gave us some freshly baked pancakes and a glass of vodka! We also got some fresh vegetables and salted tomatoes. Vladimir played on his harmonica and a seven string guitar and Andrei sang with him. We had a lot of fun and this describes the culture here, everybody is willing to make the stay here as easy and enjoyable as possible. I have not yet met a boring person here and the spirit is great!
