Travelog for: Bebanda

And today I had my first walk in the centre of Moscow...At first we went to the House of Music and then I've seen Kremlin's walls and Towers!

I hope you'll like these pictures from Moscow metro!

I went to Black Sea! For two weeks we were in Crimea, Ukraine, and I've made many intersting pictures!

First of all, our train, which take us from Moscow to Simpheropol.

The journey took us one day and at last we got to Yalta...Oh, Black Sea - I like it very much! First pictures were made not far from famous Swallow's net, which was built in 1912.

We went to the mountain Ay-Petri by a ropeway...The last 100 meters we went by step and at last we are on the top!

And here you can see you our everyday way to the beach. We went down and swam, swam, swam...Until the darkness.

Here you can see some pictures from our voyage to Bakhchisaray and Chufut-Kale. Bakhchisaray - is a town in Central Crimea, the former capital of the Crimean Khanate. We went to Khan's Palace built in 16th century. After that we visited Chufut-Kale - a cave city, historic fortress.

We also visited Balaklava - a town not far from Sevastopol with an underground, formerly classified submarine base that was operational until 1993. The base was said to be virtually indestructible and designed to survive a direct atomic impact. During that period, Balaklava was one of the most secret residential areas in the Soviet Union.

This was our last travel in Crimea. And then - bye-bye, Crimea! My next pictures will be from Moscow.

I am sorry for such a long silence! Don't worry, I am OK and had visited a lot of interesting places. Here you can see some pictures from Moscow...First of all, a rocket "Vostok" - Yury Gagaryn used the same rocket for his historical flight...

And now - Red Square, the most famous city square in Moscow. Here you can see Saint Basil's Cathedral, Spasskaya Tower and Lenin's Masoleum.
Saint Basil's Cathedral was built in 16th century on the order of Ivan IV of Russia.
Masoleum still serves as the  resting place of Vladimir Lenin.

Then we went to the Moscow Kremlin.

First of all, Tsar Cannon.
It was made in 1586. Its has a length of 5.34 meters (17.5 feet), a calibre of 890 mm (35 inches), and an external diameter of 1200 mm (47 inches). The Guinness Book of Records lists it as the largest howitzer ever made. The cannon was fired at least once.
Then, Tsar Bell.
The largest bell in the world. Its weight is 216 tons. Made in 1733–1735. The bell was never rung — during a fire in 1737, a huge slab (11.5 tons) cracked off while it was still in the casting pit.
