It was a huge New Year 2011 party at the Vinpearl hotel, The tables were placed around the huge swimming pools and a big stage was just in the center of that. We were sharing the table with two couples from Vladivostok with their kids. Spent a really good time there talking to people and watching the show,,,

It was a risky and dangerous drive to Napa Valley affter Olia's wedding.day We went there on the following day. Just after the Bay Bridge on the freeway to Oakland our car Kia Rio started making a strange and loud noise and becam unmanageable. It was really scary as Olia as a driver was scared too and she could hardly stop the car which was moving 75m/h on the very left emergency spot. Thanks God, the Freeway Patrol arrived in 5 mins after we called 911 as we were unable to get out of the car and find out what happened. Eventually we wery slowly moved to the right side of the highway under patrol of the PoliceCar. It was a completely flat and blown up tire. We had to call the rental office and got a new CHEVI car at the Oakland airport. For this drive we used a small spare tire. After all this ordeal we arrived at Napa Valley at 4pm instead of 12pm. But the place itself turned out to be so gorgeous and welcoming. It's worth visiting not only because of the unique location but also because of the famous Californian vine and the service we received there.
