Our first day in Albania — the arrival was kind of tough as we just stepped off an 8 hour bus ride. First look at the capital, Tirana, through those lens đ
Our last full day relaxing on Suang Luang beach in Bang Saphan, Thailand. Sergey gives a tour of our bungalows Love at Sea – more like a house – which we liked very much. And of course another look at the Gulf of Thailand.
And we are off from Europe to Asia. Just crossed the bridge from one side of Istanbul to another. Still as exciting as ever (Jenia was in Istanbul in 2007, and crossing back and forth was a favorite )
On our third day in Moscow, we visit the Elokhovsky Cathedral — one of the oldest in Moscow, and at one point (during Soviet times) served as the main or patriarchal Cathedral of Russia. A very spiritual 4 o’clock to you.
Back to the motherland for us — we flew via St Petersburg and got to spend a couple of exciting hours exploring the city with our new friend that we met in Georgia, actually. Here we are (sans the friend at that point) on the tram.
