our winter cottage

So here we are, renting a typical Russian cottage to enjoy the winter. You know what's best? The weather during the whole trip was awesome! Thank you Allah for the loveliest winter ever, less painful-brain freeze cold and plenty of snow.

So here's the cottage. 2 floors with 3 spacious bedrooms to accommodate up to 7 pax. Each room with an attached bathroom, tv and refrigerator. very very clean and superb place to be in. Very warm with excellent heating system.

The boys acting like cool guys at the top floor. See those wood ceiling..guessed you'll get this only in the forest.A wee bit later ( after the unpacking and sessions of ooohhh ahhhhh i like this little house i so wanna come here again in spring i shall bring my family here soon... etc etc ), we set off for some skiing adventure in the forest. So to say a tracking way of skiing, not the mountain sloping high kinda ski.
Super beginner like me..i'm proud to say that i made my way this time without even falling! Few came back with back pain , loin pain and definitely hungry stomach and so it's time for lunch.

Included in the package was our 3 x meals. We had typical Russian meals..all the 3 course-salad,soup and its main dishes. Food was great and very filling. Worth every penny ( they charged 550RUB for all 3 x meals). Funny part was that everyone ended up taking a long nap till 6 PM ( dinner time for the Russians). Again, stomach stuffed with good food.
We made a reservation for Russian Sauna at 9 PM that night. Had some cam whoring inside the cottage right after dinner and some junk food stuffing while the boys got busy with their sisha session ( yes!they brought the big huge sisha bottle with them. Farid is the main culprit ..finish end of story )
Was surprised to the brim for what the sauna complex has had to offer! A separate building on its own, complete with a pool and jacuzzi, sauna room,turkish bath room, a big living room, a kitchen on its own and a big dining table for 10. There's a spacious lounge on top with a pool table and a small room with gym equipments. Charges are 1000RUB per hour for the entire complex! Again,value for money. Sorry for there was no picture showing off the sauna..my basic camera doesn't seems to capture well in such steamy place. I don't know if big huge camera does that as well.

Last but not least, our legendary Malaysian after sessions of Russian sauna. Dedicated to dearest aunty Sya..from Russia with love!hahahaha.
