Mosquitos Attacked Us in Kumeri NP

Today, we had to say Goodbye to our beloved apartment in Purciems and drove towards our next stop: Jurmala.
However, our first stop was at the Kanieris Lake, part of the big Kumeri National Park. We parked at the boat rental and fought our way through the mosquitos and over the lake toward the lookout at the end. We even saw a snake on our way!
Aluna didn't like going over the shaking wooden panels, so that I had to pick her up after a while. It was humidly hot and a warm furball against my rips didn't help a bit. Luckily, she saw that as well when I finally let her down again.
Finally, we arrived at the lookout, sweating like hell and done for the day. However we still needed to drive to our next apartment. But first, we thought, we could make a stop at Kemeri town.
It was a cute little city with very nice parks and some pretty sights to look at, so we took a stroll around them. We had the chance to pick up some ice cream, which we obviously did, and we weren't let down. The ice cream was amazingly delicious! Especially mine (it was pear), was stunning. I was so glad, I've picked that.
After looking around everything, we headed to the next local shop to get some groceries for the next couple days. With our English and Shakhzodas broken Russia, we actually got what we were looking for.
Then we finally drove to our new apartment for the next two nights.Read more
