I wonder where you are on the Volga now. It is a pretty long river. Is it very wide?

Congratulations on winning the prize MF, bet you gave the other passengers a great display.  What a great idea for a prize and with you having so much washing waiting to be done, you couldn't have asked for anything better - who wants to wash whilst on holidays  ;D

What's the average age of the passengers on one of these river cruises?

Well here is MF on her private balcony watching the seagulls as they traverse the lock. Oh ....what is that in her hand.



Would that be a Scotsman holding a scotch.

The lock is long and the drinks are flowing as well as the mighty Volga.



Looks like pink is the colour of the day!  Yum. Wish I was there.

Locks and more locks. I guess they don't use horses on the tow paths to pull the boats through anymore.

I would rather be looking out of these windows than looking at the buildings.



Another beautiful church.



A monastery on the river. Love to see inside this one.

Nice to see DH partaking in a bit of cultural dancing MF.  I noticed there is not much parking space at that church, they must have to walk to that one  :)

100 rubles is equal to about AU$3.40. There are 100 kopeks to the ruble. Therefore 1 ruble equals about 3.4ents
So now you can calculate the cost of these goodies.

MF chatting up this gorgeous guy.





Looks like a sausage shop. Take your horse meat and add some other goodies and you have these   gems

OMG MF must have heard me! Here is the cheese.



A bit gloomy but doesn't matter.



This will brighten your day. As I sit here posting these pics I see DH getting Into  the pool starkers.
