Day 8, 9/6/15. Lake Ladoga & Svir River

During the night we cruised across Lake Ladoga and onto the Sivir River this morning. Ladoga is Europe's largest lake. During the voyage on the river we went through two locks. We stopped at the village of Mandrogy and while there Sue and I painted Matryoshka Dolls. These are the famous "nesting dolls". It turned out to be quite fun, made more so by our host "witch". The day was lovely and the less hectic day was most welcome. We attended a couple of talks and Sue went to a Russian language class. Had a lovely dinner with our table mates and then off to bed for an early morning.
