I definitely needed that cruise. I feel so much better today! It was such a wonderful trip to me. The weather was good, there was a tiny bit of rain the first night but after that it was food. There even was sunny on our last purely cruising day. I think we will cruise a lot more next year, especially as there budget-friendly weekend options available. It was a three-day (starting late Friday) cruise with only one stop on a way: Myshkin. Myshkin is most likely named so not because of Mouse (which shocking for Russian speaking person having it mascot animal as mouse and even as part of coat of arms) but as letter changing from original Myskin (mys is cape in Russian). But there is also a legend of Russian ruler being saved by running mouse from poisonous snake. A lot of people believe that both stories are true. Anyway, right now Myshkin is all about mice, there are tons of jokes (for example stating both human population and approx mice population head to head), tiny monuments and themed souvenirs. After USSR finished Myshkin decided to be a touristic destination and I love it for it. I did enjoy touring in it, visiting countless museums and learning new.
My outfit is very warm and comfortable as I wanted to walk a lot not bothered by weather at all. Frankly on the river I mostly wore a hoodie or just a top if I wasn't going to stand outside for a hour or so. I chose bright accessories to my outfit more attractive and thus blogging friendly.
H&M Metallica top
Befree jeans
Uniqlo hoodie and jacket
Fila sneakers
Have a nice day,

ReplyDeleteI haven't been on a trip in a long time, due to Covid. Quite jealous.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful cruise. I find river cruises much nicer than those that ruin the oceans....I enjoyed reading about Myshkin - it sounds very East European - like something from Gogol.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see and read you really a wonderful cruise - and even better you felt so well after it! Thanks for the wonderful pictures and sharing your happiness <3

ReplyDeleteAwesome photos of your trip. Looks like a beautiful place. Sounds like you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteI love river cruising. The slow pace of life around a river is so relaxing. Just lay back and read a book while you cruise gently.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing weekend for you! I'm so glad you were able to enjoy a nice little adventure and try out a new way to travel. I've never been on a cruise, big or small. But after reading this, I really want to go!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had lots of fun! Sometimes getaways like these are very much needed. 🙂
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely trip. I love cruises whether a lake, river or the sea. I actually get sea sick, but as long as I can sit out on deck I am fine!! So cruises are great for that. And so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteWow so happy for you and a little jealous too. Just joking. I love water and these short cruises.Lovely pics which made me feel I was cruising with you.
ReplyDeleteCheers to the Metallica top! And most of all, congrats on getting away in the midst of all this chaos with the pandemic. I'm jealous as we just cancelled our cruise for January due to so many restrictions I don't want to deal with for 11 days. You look COLD thought and I hate being cold, but you're smiling and having fun, so it must not have been a huge deal, good for you!
ReplyDeleteThis made me want to learn more about Myshkin and its mice! PS Those glasses are the bomb!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great trip with so many memories made! Thanks for sharing it with us.
