?Russia is a BIG country, so big that even during a fortnight tour we only visited a very small corner of the country - i.e., Moscow, St. Petersburg & the Golden Ring Cities! The country spans two continents, i.e., Asia and Europe (three if they had not sold off Alaska). Decades ago, as the USSR, it was an even much bigger country before it broke apart into several countries that included the now independent Baltic States and Soviet Central Asia.

It surprises me that we somehow or other we managed to go on this Russian adventure! Noting that we did most of the planning and booking ourselves (actually, a few of the girls did this). Somehow or other, we managed to get Russian Tourist visas without fully relying on a tourist agency (which was no easy thing back then), plan an itinerary, book our accommodations, train tickets, and make contact with a couple of Russian tour agents for ground arrangements.

OK..... the initial tough part over, let's see what Russia holds for us!
