Perm is where I started my cruise of 2200 km to Moscow.
It is an interesting town with some nice churches and a mosque and lots of old wooden houses, much older than 200 years.

Chaykovskiy / Tschaikowski - the town was named after the famous composer, who was born in the closeby village of Votkinsk

Votkinsk - the birthplace of the famous Russia Composer
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Kazan / Kasan

Kazan / Kasan

Romanoff-cathedral will be one of the highlights of your visit in Nizhny Novgorod

Gorodetz
Gorodez is a small town, about 30 km north-east of Nizny Novgorod and I came there on a fullday-tour organized by our cruiseship „M/S Furmanov“ during a cruise from Perm to Moscow.Gorodez is an old town and already a long time ago the inhabitants started a special kind of business: woodcarvings and other artful decorations of all things that were used for everyday life.

Suzdal

Suzdal
Suzdal is one of the most beautiful villages along the so-called "Golden Ring" :

Kalyazin
is a small town of 12.000 inhabitants and the belfry on a small island is all that was left back of a part of the village, when it was flooded in the 1940s.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Michael. I will really be keeping close watch for your Camino pages. I am seriously thinking of giving it a try before I retire but in the meantime, I am back on the fitness program to see if my knees will work better when they are not carrying so much weight. Well done and congratulations!

Great that you are doing the CAMINO from Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela! I know a man here in Frankfurt who did it all alone in a wheelchair (and then wrote a book about it). He wore out several pairs of gloves along the way.
