Novgorod

We went to Novgorod on Sunday. This is the Kremlin.


This church is very old. Almost 1000 years old. I think it is the oldest building in Russia,
but I dind't allways pay attention to the guide. Anyway, inside it was a
very sweet church.


This is the leaves inside the Kremlin.




A church..


A church.. ...


A church? No! A monastry!

A church or a monastry.


There are hundres of these houses along the road outside the big cities.
Some of them are terrebly old, and about fall apart. Some have allready fallen apart,
but people still live there. I didn't manage to take a picture of the more psychedelic houses
who are painted in sharp pink, voilet, turquoise and so on, and often with wooden "laces".





On the way home we ended up in a traffic jam, and we used an hour to move maybe 250 meters.
As you can see, there are four lines of cars in our direction, but there are originally just to lines in
each direction, so half of the cars were driving on the headshoulder and even outside it.
