Travelog post for: Harold Giraffe

Today morning we got up at 5 a.m.- very early! It's because we had our bus to Tomsk. Tomsk is another Siberian city- a very old one. It's more than 400 years old. It took us about 5 hours to get there by bus. We like the city very much, because it has beautiful architecture, lots of churches, old wooden houses.







Here I'm in the Garden near river Tom.






And here we are at the Tomsk State University- also a very old one and very beautiful too!


It is surrounded by a beautiful garden. We saw squirrels  there!


And we found two stone ancient idols that were brought from Altai:




Look what a lovely sculpture of a cabbage and a baby! Small children in Russia think that they were found in a cabbage or were brought by a stork ) This sculpture stands near the maternity hospital.














The main street of Tomsk- Lenin's prospect:














On the embankment:


We saw a kite there!


And there were so-o many weddings there


The emblem of Tomsk:


The Tomsk drama theatre:


The funny monument to the famouse Russian writer- Anton Pavlovich Chechov:


We found a very old chemistry in Tomsk. It was build in the 19th century.




The monument to St. Tatiana who  protects studends and helps them in their studies:


We enjoyed our trip very much! What a pitty that we had only one day in Tomsk!
