I live near the Baltic sea.
And, of course, I understand, that the sea isn't amaze you.
But for me, the Baltic sea is absolutely special.
There is the largest deposits solar stone.
Do you know which stone I mean?
I talk about Amber.
It is enough to go ashore and watch carefully, without prey you definitely will not leave (see on the postcard).
Also it cold and windy sea.
Now the temperature of water is 19C, and windy speed 9 m/c, but people are swiming here and to surf.
And I too very want to try surfing, but I'm afraid to spoil the impresson.
Because your country is more suitable for to surf.
Are you lucky with it.
