Novgorod
We made a brief stop at Velikiy Novgorod, one of the most ancient walled cities of Russia. Here we got to see the Kremlin of Novgorod and "The Millenium of Russia", a bronze monument commemorating all those who contributed to the development of Russia and the beautiful churches in the city, including the Cathedral of St Sophia.
