We arrived early at Yaraslavl and started our tour at 8 am. This came as a bit of a shock after our previous lazy starts. Yaraslavl is a large regional centre with lots of government buildings. The region it governs has 1.3? M people. This place is famed
for its boxes with fine artwork and we went to a "museum" to view them and other artworks. We succumbed and bought a box in the shape of a turtle.
We returned to ship for lunch followed by a Russian language lesson. A history lesson came next which I skipped - Alison went and found it very interesting. I should have gone.
Dinner was a multi course Russian affair with full waiter service. Quality was excellent, but same old house wines, - not complaining - they are quite drinkable. There is even Russian champagne for breakfast but haven't seen any takers.
Movie in the evening was From Russia with Love, Alison was nicely asleep for the last 1/2 hr.
