I see Brussels sprouts and cabbage? with the venison and is that red basil?  Amazing  there is sliced star fruit  with the cheesecake. Bet the yanks have never seen that fruit.

Yes Brussels sprouts cabbage and red basil Gert. Well spotted.
The guide was telling us yesterday that most of the fruit in the market is imported.
The government allocated each resident some land and they all grow their own potatoes,beetroot, cabbage etc which is why their was none on sale in the market.
Russian dinner tonight and will be interesting to see the menu.
Breakfast is a buffet in the restaurant or continental in the panorama bar. I just had mine on our balcony. Photo to follow.

Ok brekkie. We have red grapefruit/watermelon, orange, toast, muffin, cheese, strawberry jam, butter and coffee.

BTW  your nails look great.  Did you have them done in Italy.

How many miles do you walk round the deck to work that lot off MF?
My sister went on a cruise 4 laps to a mile. In fact she's on a cruise right now! We had a text to say the winds had dropped in the bay of biscay....
Autumnal pic of rain and leaves is like here but we are in a dry few days right now.

This is an interesting church ruins. All the parishioners  would have had to have a boat unless they could walk on water.

Good grief here is yet another monastery. This one in the town of  Kirillov




Not many cars in this town.

OMG that food looks so divine. Gretch, you are doing a wonderful job at the blurb, and yes come to think of it they are a bit slow at topping up the glasses (but who am I to complain about the service)

Looks like a school yard or maybe a park.

A school yard I think as it looks like a school building behind the bleachers and next to that building is a PINK building. Interesting the kids are outside and not one of them is on the phone!

Well I woke up this morning to some really juicy pics and yes it was a school they visited. This from Mama Fergie.

Visited a children's school today in a remote town 20 minutes from the river. A very depressing place to live ones entire life. We are all so lucky to live in beautiful Australia
