My girlfriend doesn't like it, when I am writing about my favorite places in Moscow and I give away some tips on where to go shopping or eating. Well, take this one about Moscow's best terrace (in my opinion). She is OK with that, because she doesn't like the place. Probably because of all the beautiful women lounging there. I heard from a reliable source, that even some Bolshoi ballerinas go there between and after their performances, but go see yourself.
26/06: Kizhi in February
So this will be the first of my reports with pictures.
It will be quite short, I'm still testing... In February, 2006 we reached famous wooden architecture museum Kizhi in Karelia. As for me, that's probably one of my favourite places in Russia, but it's broadly visited from people all over the world mostly during summer, when you can get to Kizhi Island by 'Kometa' hydrofoil from Petrozavodsk.
In winter you can reach Kizhi by foot :), by helicopter that goes twice a week from local airport (or any time you like if you rent it) and by the hovership you also need to rent. Hovership variant was quite ingenious - nowadays hydrofoils are in a huge decay and ports that need vessels like that buy hoverships. But they do not know often what to do with them, confining themselves to service needs and taking people to a short trips on ice on weekends.

21/06: Introduction to KTP
Hi Everybody!
My name is Mitjan Kryukov. I'm the coordinator of Russian Transport Travellers Club (Klub Transportnyh Ruteshestvennikov aka KTP).
KTP was found presumably in 2000 by ex-railway officer Wsewolod S. Putnik and at those times was more a group of friends hanging round Moscow region.
Nowadays it developed to a unique non-governmental organization for Russia which tries to visit unnkown, but interesting places of the country, create challenging routes, ride exceptional means of transportation etc. etc.
We have quite a large amount of articles and other texts and photos summarizing our experience. We also have several side projects, like biggest ex-USSR transport timetable web-project or some guides. Most eccentric side project is KTP team in 'Chto?Gde?Kogda?', most popular Russian brain game, but we'll talk about it another time.
We would like to present some of our reports, news and surely pictures here. We hope they'll be of some interest to you.
So, POEHALI, as we say here.
