After lovely quiet catch up sleep, we went for an explore around Kazan. Of all the cities we've so far in Russia, it seems to be the one most touched by modernity - various new buildings around. However, it also has a world heritage-listed Kremlin, which contains not only an orthodox cathedral, but also an enormous mosque - which gives you an indication that we are making our way further east. We're almost in line with Tehran and tonight's train journey will take us over the Europe-Asia "border". The ethnic mix is also starting to change a little.
