It all starts at the club. The best restaurant in the city (population 8 million), founded in 1866. (Mark: you know the place https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=644379 )


First, quick lunch at bar...

What happens next just blows my mind! Under a beautiful sky, stars are impressive (we are 40 min away from the closest town). They set up dinner outside, with special illumination at the Vineyard. Just WOW
