We have traveled over half way on our 1528 km voyage. Nights are cool and quite light - doesn't get fully dark and is very light up to 11.30 pm. The latitude here is not much different to north of Scotland. The time zone (same as Moscow) is 3 hours behind London.
Today we had a few more diversions on board in addition to breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, etc. Russian lessons again and some sales presentations on other cruises.
Weather a bit greyish and visibility not so good early on.
We arrived and disembarked at Kizhi Island in Lake Onega in the late afternoon and did the tour - no buses, all walking. More churches , but this time they are wooden and supposedly the only example of this design around. Wooden shingles 6,000 on main building. We went inside an authentic house and were shown how they lived and how some people slept on the stove. It gets very cold here in winter. When the ship was here 10 days ago the lake was still frozen around the island and the ship couldn't dock. Guess we are lucky.
Managed to buy a better map than the one I bought on board ship. Gives much better information on the locks and water levels in he various lakes.
