The great river.

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

The thing is that, despite all previously documented troubles, Kazan is a really great place and I am really glad that the route was able to be influenced away from the usual stop in Perm to include it. Officially the third capital of Russia and recently done up to celebrate its 1000th birthday the tone of the place starts at the Kremlin which models co-operation to all by containing both a mosque and an orthodox cathedral.

We weren’t asked so we sought out opinion on this and found that there may have been murmurings in the 90s but it seems that money has quelled those with the resource boom making the region very wealthy.

My main query about this situation was how on earth did this guy end up in the middle of Russia with no clue or luggage? [read on]

It is safe to say that we are extremely close to a point of physical and emotional ruin. Things are so bad that we have even managed to get Rdoc to enter a McDonalds, he won't buy anything but the ... [Continue reading this entry]

Church overload in the Golden Ring.

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Today we leave Moscow for the Golden Ring towns. Even though many of the stops along the way are going to be major cities it still feels as though this is the end of the easy part. The further east ... [Continue reading this entry]

The Artist and the Dictator.

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

One of the most prevalent questions encountered so far has been Moscow or St Petersburg, which do you prefer? As the title of this post alludes to one is based on the premise of beauty and the other power. One ... [Continue reading this entry]
