Russia & Dubai : Day 6 (2 May 06)


This is a not so interesting day, because we are visiting a monastery in Sergiev Posad, a old Russian town which require significant time on the coach to reach there. The monastery is named Trinity Sergius Monastery, it is the heart of Russian Orthodoxy, with its magnificent and harmonious architecture dating from 15-19th centuries. The town is also the hometown of old Russian handicrafts.

Thanks. It is because, all interiors within the monastery is not allow to take photo unless you pay for 'photo permit' at the entrance.

It is a common practise for most of the sightseeing place in Russia.
