Goody bags for all at the end of G8

On the shores of the Baltic Sea there used to stand a listed villa built in 1854 where the Russian Tsar Nicholas I took his summer holidays. When the G8 came to town it was ripped down to make way for the media centre. Now 3,000 journalists tasked to cover the summit are following their leaders home, grabbing the last of the free ice creams from the freezers and collecting their powder-blue goody bags from tourist officials before they leave.
