Jan Gillett's trip to Russia

At our last meeting Jan Gillett spoke to us about her fantastic trip to Russia. Jan and Rob took a cruise from St Petersburg to Moscow on the Volga-Baltic Waterway. This took them along rivers, lakes, canals, dams and through many locks. The ship was the m/s Rostropovich which took about 150 people.

Thanks Jan for sharing this experience with us and for the goodies a the end of the night.

The photos in order are:

1. St Basil’s cathedral in Red Square Moscow

2. Church of the Transfiguration Kizhi, all timber (birch), no nails!
