We had only a short night of sleep. But a new city was waiting for us.

I had to go to the avtomoika first, fuel up the bike for Kazachstan and check the new tyres.

We went to see the city Kreml. We could only visit the church as the whole place was under maintenance. The police guard let me park my bike inside which was nice though.

Gazprom has its main office here and is the biggest employer in the city.

The next stop was at the Volga river, where I did some fishing 🙂

We were wondering where we could find caviar so we checked out the fish market. The black beluga caviar was really expensive!

We got hungry but did not eat fish. It was schaslik time 🙂

Later in the evening we decided for some romantic times and went on a small river cruise. It was really nice and we watched the sunset. A girl, a beer, what does a guy need more? 🙂

In the evening it was really crowded at the river and there was a concert. We had diner and got back to the hostel to get ready for the next border crossing. Kazachstan was waiting for us…
