Hi Kanji-san,

we are already 3 weeks back from our boattrip to Moskau and Petersburg, and I must say, it was a wunderfull trip. With the airplane from Hamburg to Moskau, then on board of the ship the Konstantin Simonov, and from that moment we had holiday. The tour was 14 days, and we made 1930 km by boat. We have been in Moskau 3 days, than to Uglitsch, to Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Gorizy, Kishi, Mandrogi and Petersburg. In Petersburg we hat 3 days for sightseeing.

The boat was not that big, only 240 passengers, and 90 people for service on board. The group was mixed, we hat 50 people from Spain, 30 from Canada, 64 from Austria, 40 from Hannover, and we where with 34 from the nord of Germany, The rest came from all over the world, Swiss, USA, Italie.

I have made many photos, approx 500, so I have to select them, and more than the half is trash. That is the very good thing by using digital-kameras, you just made fotos and fotos, later than you select the best, and the rest is trash!!

As attached some photos from Moskau, and Uglitsch, and Kostroma. In the next E-Mail I send you more from the rest of the trip. Do you received the two postcards I have send to you??

During our trip we have seen many Russian Orthodox Churches, which are very nice restaurated, with a lot of gold and beautifull paintings. You know as you travel in a group, you always see the best part of Rusland, we have not been in poor parts of the citys. I think that some one can make a lot of money in Rusland because there are so many things broken down like factories, and houses. The kommunist party in the sovjet time, has broken down all the cultural parts of the country. They have not invest no cent in it, only for military service. Now they are starting to build up, all the interesting Churches, museums, landhouses, big gartens, monuments, palasts etc.

The boom of tourist becomes a powerfull business, and employ many people in the major citys. Many guidends are students, and involved by service with different language, like English, German, Spain, French etc.

Kanji in the next Mail I send you some more impressions of our Rusland trip from Moskao to Petersburg.

Kanji-san, solong and many regards to the familiy

Rudi
