3. city: Ekaterinburg - border of Asia

So after 29 hours on train, very early in the morning we arrived to Ekaterinburg: 4:09am 10 July...
Then after a little rest in a hotel we were ready to explore the city:
the Church on Blood (for the memory of the last Romanov tsar and his family who were killed exactly on that spot):
some souvenirs again:
Niko with his Russian hat :)

a residential house for the president if he wishes to come to Ekaterinburg:
not far from it in a passage way there is a graffiti on the wall... :)
Ekateringburg in 1723:
yes, some soviet heritage...




the main street:
another ortodox church:
Not far from the city a monastery was built, again for the memory of the killed Romanov family:
it's nice...

but still under construction... plus, maybe it will be a bit too much with this artificial lake...
Then also not far from the city there is the Europe - Asia border!!! The Ural Mountains are not that high as people imagine and around Ekaterinburg there are no mountains at all... just this thing...

you can make a wish then tie a ribbon:the red one is mine...


and the "border"


yes, I want to go...and I managed... I got the certificate :)
