Get ready to spark the artist in you, as together you will create your own ice sculptures in the charming ambiance of Moscow's winter wonderland. Making this more than just a walk but a fun playdate that pโฆ
- The day begins with a casual stroll to the Patriarch Ponds in Moscow. You break the norm and introduce your partner to a fascinating new hobby of ice sculpting. With simple tools, you start to create your masterpiece, laughing at each other's efforts, and sharing a warm cup of tea from your thermos flask to fend off the cold.
- As twinkling stars light up the sky, your sculptures start to look more and more impeccable, reflecting the hard work and love you put into them. Despite the cold, the romantic ambiance, the fun activity, and the good company will warm you both from inside.
- And as you walk back home under the blanket of a star-filled night in Moscow, hand in hand, you just know that it has been a perfect date that will forever be etched in both of your memories.
Preparation steps:
- First, check the weather forecast and make sure it's a clear day. You don't need it to be snowing, just freezing and, ideally, above -10 degrees Celsius.
- Next, dress warm. Itโs going to be cold work, so you'll need thermal underwear, a warm jacket, gloves, and boots. Don't forget your thermos with hot tea.
- Finally, don't worry if you've never sculpted ice before. The fun of it lies in the process, and you are allowed to make a mess of your first sculpture. Just let your creativity flow, collaborate with your partner, and have fun.
Some tips:
- It's a fantastic idea to bring some snacks or a nice homemade sandwich. While sculpting and walking you might get hungry. The snacks not only keep your energy levels high but also wrap your date with a personal touch.
- Do not forget to bring a power bank to keep your mobile warm, as the batteries can quickly drain in cold weather. It will also ensure you have enough juice to capture your masterpieces, or even record a cute timelapse video of you two working on it.
- Keep the date light-hearted and relaxed. The goal is not to create perfect sculptures but to have a fun, romantic, and interesting date.
