"Capital of Chukotka" Anadyr' by jorgejuansanchez

You need a permit (Propusk) to get to Chukotka. There is a control before getting off the plane.
There are 3 places to sleep in Anadyr, a luxurious hotel for 200 euro per night, another hotel per 100 euro and another one, with showers and bathroom in the corridor, per 50 euro per night.
Everything is very expensive in Chukotka, almost everything has to be brought from other parts of Russia by plane or by boat from Vladivostok.
There are irregular planes to Nome in Alaska, but it is better to fly from Provideniya.
To get to Anadyr from the airport will take you several hours. First, the airport is on the other side of the river, and the ferry only crosses a few times a day, but not on week ends. The journey on the ferry takes 30 minutes and will cost you 200 rubles.
It is a pleasant town, very cold, but people are friendly.
Chukchi is the main ethnical group, followed by skimos.
Be careful when getting to Anadyr. It is hard to get there. There are four flights weekly to Moscow, but are expensive, sometime one way for 1300 euro. Then only one flight weekly to Provideniya, two flights monthly to Khabarovsk and two months monthly to Magadan. But if you do not book in advance you mihjt get stuck in Anadyr, with its expensive prices for food and hotel.

It was Sunday and there was a celebration, with soup (Ukha) for free.

The building behind the statue is the Museum.
At the beginning the statue showed Saint Nikolai in a serious position, but after the statue was erected, and by miracle, the statue smiles...!!! It is true.
Saint Nikolai is happy in Anadyr.
The statue is very pretty. It is located next to the beautiful cathedral.
