Monument in Suzdal

Arriving late evening from Suzdal meant that we didn't have any time to enjoy the sights of Vladimir. We viewed the Assumption Cathedral but were too late to go inside. Instead we settled on an outside view and a really good view of the city. Houses sprinkled amongst wooded hills reminded us of home but with a definitely Russian flavour. It was a bit unfortunate to have no time to investigate what Vladimir had to offer. Another entry on our “stuff to come back to” list.

We missioned around to find internet but after going too far on the bus, wandering in the wrong direction (right bus stop), we found out that the internet cafe was closed albeit next to the bus stop... By the time we got back it was late in the night and we were not looking forward to the early morning start.

Our bus to Moscow left at an unpleasant 6:15am (R156 pp, R31 for bag). Like the majority of our bus rides there wasn't much to comment on. Our seats were a bit cramped but the 3 hour trip went by so quickly. Possibly due to previous experience.
