Not too far to go today – just 400 odd kilometres. We moved another time zone yesterday so we are now 6 hours behind home. One day next week we move through two in one day and will lose 2 hours.
On the way out of Tyumen we visit a monastery on the riverbank in town. It is truly beautiful. Through the old wooden gates is the brightest colourful flower gardens where the devoted are working hard. We have to don scarves for our visit today and we feel a bit like pirates but at least we fit in with the others. There are only a couple of worshippers inside –it didn’t feel right to take photos. They sold thin honey wax candles at the door for you to light inside. In the garden was the beehives where I guess they collect the wax.
The road sign says:
Yekaterinberg 190km
Moscow 2340km
St Petersburg 3045km
Nor far then….
