Silent Boat Ride and Picnic in the Gardens
Enjoy the serenity of Saint Petersburg's water bodies with a tranquil boat ride. No need for many words as you both take in the beauty that will present itself. Follow this with a quiet picnic in one of the city's lush gardens, savoring not only the delicious food but also the peaceful atmosphere aโฆ
- Your date starts with you both meeting at one of the waterfronts in Saint-Petersburg. Without much chatter, you're ushered into your private boat, expertly steered by your skilled boatman. As you glide through the calm waters, the scenic beauty of the city provides a euphoric experience. The rhythm of your heartbeats are the only sounds apart from nature's soft whispers.
- Once the boat ride is over, make your way to a peaceful garden. Marvel at the beautiful flowers, hear birds chirping, and feel the cool breeze as you settle down for a picnic. Lay out your blanket and enjoy little nibbles of a pre-prepared picnic hamper, filled with delightful sandwiches, fruits, cakes, and beverages.
- As the day winds down, have a quiet stroll around the garden absorbing the beauty in each other's company. This day would have seen few words exchanged but promises a closeness that's hard to find in bustling conversation, drawing you both closer in the process.
Preparation steps:
- Start your preparation a few days before the date. First of all, decide on the boat ride. Find a reliable provider and book your boat in advance. If you have decided on a specific time of the day, such as sunrise or sunset, make sure they can accommodate that.
- For the picnic, you don't need to be a master chef. Some tasty sandwiches, your partner's favorite fruits, a little bit of sweet such as cupcakes or cookies, and refreshments would do. Pack it all in a basket, don't forget napkins and disposable silverware. Also, bring a mat or a blanket where you can sit or lay down.
- And lastly, check the weather forecast. Needless to say, this date idea is not the best one for a rainy or extremely cold day. Schedule it on a day when the weather is expected to be pleasant and sunny.
Some tips:
- Dress comfortably. Boat rides could be a bit chilly, so bringing a light shawl or jacket would be a good idea. Don't forget your sunglasses and sunblock, you will be spending a lot of time outdoors.
- If you want to take your picnic to the next level, you could include a little bit of cheese and wine in your basket. Always remember to stay responsible and not to consume alcohol if you're going to operate even a small boat.
- Lastly, remember this is a day to connect without many words. It's not about filling every silence, but instead allowing them to exist. Pick up on your partner's non-verbal cues, their smiles, the twinkle in their eyes, messages that often speak volumes.
