Should we set aside a day off for a tour around St. Petersburg?

Basically, potions will come in handy! You can also capture tents ;-)

This is probably the cheaper "Shell" option:D

Those who don't contribute will have to live there! :D

Is anyone from Yekaterinburg going?
I'm having second thoughts; I wouldn't want to miss a third event in a row, and I've never been to St. Petersburg... But I usually have a lot of work in May... I'll decide what to do.
Asm is also thinking about it – he says the city is beautiful, but it's quite far from his place...
Yak is busy with family matters.
It's been a couple of years since the last Heroes gathering; in the best times, 15-20 people would gather regularly.

We haven't had gatherings of Heroes players for a couple of years; in the best times, 15-20 people would gather regularly.

There will be holidays during those dates, so you'll miss a maximum of 2-3 working days. Bring your phone and work laptop with you; there will be internet access.
Mee and Yosemith were with you before, at least. Ivor also lives nearby. The base is an hour's drive away, no further than your trip to the airport was.

I'll be staying with someone from the 30th to the 2nd-3rd-4th in the shell. No intimacy, please.

As I understand it, the base is 100 km from St. Petersburg? Or am I wrong?

It would be nice if the team from Yekaterinburg got together and traveled together; we could start having fun at the airport.

It's even 120 km from Pulkovo.

Well, Koltsovo is located 10 km away from us. So, the distances aren't exactly the same, but that's not the main point. We need to gather a group so we can order a van to the airport and everyone can go to the base together.

I'm reserving a spot near the tree. I'll bring extra trash bags and some "hobo-style" salads and other "hobo" dishes.

Is a "bomzh packet" what you get after a homeless person eats a "bomzh salad"?

Hello everyone,
I have some questions regarding the event:
1. Is it feasible to take a couple of days to travel to Finland during this time? If so, please suggest where to go (Helsinki or elsewhere) and how long the journey will take (travel time) + the estimated budget (travel, excursions, accommodation, food), and what documents are required (passport, visa, etc.).
2. The base is located more than 100 km from St. Petersburg. If I want to spend 2-3 days exploring, sightseeing, and enjoying St. Petersburg, would it be better to commute to the base for the night, or rent accommodation in the city?
Can I expect assistance from the organizers in fulfilling the above points, primarily in terms of providing information, but possibly also practical help?
Thank you in advance.

Everything, IMHO. 1. Helsinki didn't impress me much personally; Lappeenranta is much more interesting, but as they say, taste is subjective. You need a passport and a visa for the trip, and the price of a one-day tour is very affordable – around 1,000 rubles. It takes about 4 hours to get there; you can search for information yourself. Here's a link to bus tours as an example: http://e-finland.ru/tour/type/bybus/ 2. People will go there to have fun anyway; you can go with everyone, or if not, hire a taxi or take bus number 827. As for staying or renting accommodation, it's up to you. If you want to explore, do it; if not, rent a place.

1. Helsinki, Turku, and perhaps something else.
By Allegro train to Helsinki, it takes 3 hours, and another 2 hours from there to Turku. You can also take a bus, which is cheaper but takes twice as long. You'll need a Schengen visa and euros.
2. If you have nothing else to do, you can commute back and forth, of course. But I would recommend staying with everyone else, and we will try to organize a cultural program and leisure activities. There will definitely be others who want to join. At the very least, you should set aside 1 day to see the main attractions, and even better, a week
