... s d'une foreuse manuelle pour faire des trous... interessant ! Nous regrettons de ne rester que 1 journée chez Macha et Genia, car ils sont tellement charmants ! Ils sont fan de culture et de musique francaise, et ils apprennent tous les deux le francais a une vitesse impressionante. Ils nous arrangent meme notre logement pour notre prochaine etape a Iekaterinbourg chez une copine a eux. En ...

... de la place, le sul que j'avais trouve proposait des chambres a 5000 roubles (140 Euros), j'ai senti une pointe de lassitude poindre, avant de finalement trouver un hotel tout pourris, pour seulement 2000 roubles, c'etait ca ou bien je tentais la gare (option non retenue). Le lendemain, visite du Kremlin de la ville, le temps ne s'ameliore pas et j'ai gagne un etat grippal.

Nizny Novgorod was not stop we planned in the beginning, but was recommended by people we met and Tim wanted to see the Volga of the Boatmen. It was a very nice town with lots of nice looking churches and a kremlin on top of the hill. A girl in Mcdonalds seemed surprised that tourists would come to Nizny Novgorod but its a nice spot. We arrived in the morning and booked the train to go that night (saves accomodation!) so had a day to wander.

Three-day visit to Nizhny Novogorod for work. We visited the city center (according to Wikipedia the fourth largest city in Russia) in the evening. In the past the city served as a Russian fortress with a dominating Kremlin structure on the ...

... it was around 1am by now!) and me miming 'okay, but just a tiiiny bit' with my thumb and forefinger, she produced 6 gigantic freshly pickled cucumbers, half a loaf of bread and slices of some sort of devon, I kid you not, 3 centimeters thick - I can only imagine what Russians think when they come to Australia and are faced with devon sliced a millimeter thin. The lady also produced some soft of black tea which even without milk, in which state I usually hate it, was the ...

... and the room went from one extreme in temperature to the other. The scenery out the window was much the same as last night. I had not got bored of starring out the window though and did so for the first part of the day. I was surprised to find out a third of the worlds tree existed in Russia. The Mongolian traders were very noisy shouting banging doors and their favorite activity opening our door and starring at us. At first we thought they had just got the wrong door ...

... counted gives the lie to where everyone's minds are. I had expectations and the odd doubt about this rail journey, but I suppose that expectation is a traveller's burden, as much as the back pack. Train number 3 will have borne us 7622km over a mere five and a half days. At times it's been as much as 8 hours behind schedule, but now it's bang on schedule, Moscow awaits, and it's been worth every second.

... is the air I breathe and the nourishment on which I thrive. There is no more sin in me, and I have ceased to commit it. I have a good conscience, and know that I am walking in God's ways and doing his will; I know that my whole life is fashioned in accordance with that will, whether I walk or stand, sit or lie down, am awake or asleep.
