In the morning our junk ship docked again in Volgograd. For me it was a chance to wake up early and to connect to the internet. Yes, there is wi-fi in the bar of our ship, but it works only when we are in the big city…
Why second time in Volgograd? First stop was long enough to walk around the center of the city (2,5 hours) Now we had organized, included in the ticket price bus excursion to the Kurgan Mamaya – the distant hill where during the Battle of Stalingrad were the heaviest fightings. Now on the top of the hill they erected huge, 85 – m high monument of Mother Russia with the sword in the hand. On the slope of the hill (102 m high) there are also other monuments. And you will see also the huge Hall oc Fame with eternal flame and the guards. There is ceremonial guards change on the hour. All of these is very impressive and important to thr Russians…. Weather during the day is hot, with the blue sky. In the afternoon we will depart to Saratow.
