On it is warm enough but I deleted all the full frontals as it was too frightening

Last nights dinner.

Tomato  mozzarella and bean tart.  I hope DH's didn't have that what with the snoring coming out of one end,



MF says.    Perch on buttered rice and vegetables. I think its called Sudak



Forgot to say lentils were cooked with bacon and veg and duck was served with an orange sauce.
Had roasted garlic soup which was delish but I forgot to take a photo

There is also a specialist to squeeze the bottle of balsamic reductions or other sauces in a pattern on the plates! Or maybe it is the same one that's piping bag in one hand and the sauce squeeze bottle in the other

I hope it's the same person squeezing the bottle as it must be so much more interesting than piping potatoes and fake cream ;D ;D ;D

Lots od pics roost. Because the photos are all different sizes as in  Megabytes they may download from the server in a different sequence from which they are sent and may not be in sequence so forgive me if I get it wrong and because of the amount of wine i drank last  night at a Penfolds wine dinner I may not be seeing them  through the haze.

We will start with the last lock on the trip on the way from Moscow to St Petersburg .

The following are pics of the village of Mandrogy I think

Arrived here in Madrogy last night. Sandy from Canada and I decided to go for a walk after dinner. It was dark but we met some other guests coming back onto the ship as we were leaving. They told us one gift shop was still open and directed us to the building on the first corner 200 metres to the left. We used a torch and got there to find that the building was lit only on the upper level. We went in and went upstairs opened the door and walked into someone's home!!! We quickly closed the door, ran downstairs and out of the building. In the meantime the downstairs lights came on so we ran as fast as we could back to the ship. Had visions of being locked up for housebreaking!!!   Funny but scary.
Will send you a photo of that building next

Had to laugh at the antics MF and her new friend got up to - that would have been terrifying.  Don't they lock their doors over there  ???  Stay out of trouble MF - good story to tell the family though  :D
