Transiberian railway journey.

When we arrived into Moscow, we joined our tour group and for the next 17days we will be touring Russia by doing the Transiberian rail journey. In this time, over 17days, we will have multiple stops and overnight stays in different parts of Russia.
Our journey begins in Moscow and ends in Vladivostok, we will cover 9,288kms and cross 7 time zones.
Our first 290kms was covered by coach to Suzdal, where we spent the day and night.
Charming park with wood carvings in Suzdal
Charming houses, all wooden, some of these are B&B
Suzdal has a population of 9,000 and is only 9 sq metres and has over 1,000,000 visitors a year.
The town has 30 churches, 3 Cathederals and 9 monasteries.
Eternal flame from Victory day.
