The bed in the chalet proved comfortable after I corrected the first collapse \ud83d\ude42 Svetlana & helpers prepared a good breakfast<\/p>\n
We set of a good pace for the first 20km on the usual variety of road surfaces from smooth tarmac to completey rutted & potholes plus it was reasonably busy with trucks until the turn off.<\/p>\n
In Myshkin we went on a conducted tour around the old mill apparently the symbol of the town is a mouse so the tour became a bit like Disneyland. After the mill it was the church busily being reconstructed after its communist owners forced it into disrepair. Then onto the towns speciality -.a felt museum with details of how to make felt shoes etc must confess I fell asleep once we moved downstairs to the flax museum \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Afterwards I climbed the bell tower for incredible views of The Volga and great to see a gigantic bell at close quarters.<\/p>\n
After a drink we took the ferry across the Volga and then a quick 10km ride to our chalets ride on the edge of the river, so after a swim in the river & sauna it was time for our pickled tomatoes, gherkins smoked monkfish and vodka shots before dinner, very pleasurable indeed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The weather in the evening was quite stunning with the sunset over The Volga! Now of cause everyone is watching England in the worldcup semi finals…<\/p>\n
