Let's go to Kamchatka
Chartered airplane from Kanku
We went toKamchatka. The charter flight starts summer time by Vladivostok Air. We reserved this flight from Kansai airport. But the tour agency didn't give us the OK till one week before the flight. We apply for tourist visa at Russian Embassy, and we also needed the tickets between Haneda and Kansai airport. They handed us the tickets only three days before departure.
In the airplane
They said we had to arrive at Kansai airport three hours before the flight. But the check in counter of Vladivostok Air was opened just one hour and forty minutes before the departure. Most of the passengers were between 60 and 70 years old. They wanted to go to Kamchatka to admire the alpine flowers in Avacha mountain for four days.
There are beautiful mountains which are covered with snow. This is the view of Kamchatka peninsula.
Immigration
We wrote two immigration cards to enter Russia. Many of the passenger could not recognize which is visa number. It took very long to enter the gate
. 
Masia & Friends
It was a wonderful moment when we could meet again our Russian daughter. She waited for us with her mother and friends. 
Welcome
We were welcome with a traditional ceremony by Kamchatka. They placed a pinch of salt in the center of large black bread, and they served it to us. They also gave us a bouquet of very nice smell's white flower.
At this time of the year there is midnight sun in Kamchatka. It does not to become dark until eleven at o'clock night. It was unearthly for us.
All over the town was covered with Poplar fuzz. It seemed snow.
First experience --- Swimming pool
After we arrived we went to a hot spring swimming pool " Antarius" which located at Paratunka hot spring village. It took forty minutes from the airport. They brought defferent kind of foods and drinks. Bolare, Luba's boyfreind brought fern salad. He told us he just cut the fern and mix it with mayonnaise.
