Vologda's Cremlin

Someone can say that it's just bricked wall, someone can say that it's a historical miracle of architecture. As for me, we had some luck to have a walk one evening after work and I liked it with its unusual small sizes for Moscow (Moscow's cremlin at Red Square) and it's white but not red colour. If you're a small towns lovers, you should see it , but if you keen on wide roads and clean streets, this city is not for you...

A small church

Church

Unfortunatelly, we didn't have a guide for our trip but we look only at what worth to be seen:) This church is situated close to the Cremlin and looks beautiful and lonely especially at night...

Tumbledown building

I liked this building (it's a dwelling house) just because it looks like an old one and the most colouring there is an old (VERY OLD) car which can hardly be drived at all :) Well, it's my opinion, it's your turn to value it!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Calm, ancient (from 1147 as Moscow), cosy...
Cons:Dirty, boring, poor...
In a nutshell:It's worth to be seen but not to be delighted!

I stayed in the Spasski hotel and I had a terrible matress that made me sleep like a banana. The breakfast is definitely for Russians and not my taste at all. Otherwise I really liked Vologda although it was hard to find a working ATM machine.

Perfect discription for the Kremlin, lonely. I was trying to understand the feel for it and you've said it best!
