Up for breakfast at 8 after a half hour in bed reading a detective novel, found in swap a book in the lobby.
Headed into cbd for museum hunting and found the Military museum with tanks, mortars, kashnikovs, RPG etc.The two ladies made us right at home with a russian comentary and obliged us with lighting on off or a mixture. They were happy with our endeavours. Magnificent WW2 diorama. More tanks outside and lots of help in giving us directions.
Earlier an economics lecturer bridged a conversation which made me own up to liking his girl friend, have to watch when making commments about people !!. Still, we talked and he explained things about the city 'til we parted.
We looked for a geological museum but it was closed, so went to a 19th floor lookout, grate views around the city. then onto a no. 021 mini bus for veronika(another first) to the railway station to see the siberian railway cars arrive and disgorge their passengers.
Our Destination was the rail museum with great displays and statues, then into the MTR to go the wrong way, I said it should be going the other way, but lady say platform 2, another set of tickets and 6 stops later we are back at the circus in town and a short walk to the hotel, where spot had some work to do, not successful the last two times, very occuded skies. But He has done his business good this time !! and we are in Ekaterynburg.
It's now having an afternoon shower so can hear the swish of tyres outside.
