The lost weekend in Kazan...! So we got off the train on Saturday morning having decided at some point last year that we were going to spend a couple of days in Kazan, only Kazan isn't mentioned in our guidebook. In fact Kazan isn't mentioned in ANY guidebook!!.....
Kazan is somewhere that noone that you know has been to or will ever go to, not because its not a pleasant city with a stunning Kremlin and beautiful countryside nearby, just because there's nothing outstanding to attract your average tourist...needless to say we are not your average tourist, trailblazing across the Russian outback!
We have not seen another tourist for the past 3 days but have experienced freezing cold temp (-21) and snow drifts covering cars! I have also learnt a fundamental lesson...don't stray off the path on a frozen lake...that 'perfect picture' is not worth losing a few toes to frostbite when your foot goes through the ice!!
