Victory Day on the ship
In this part: the ninth and tenth days of the cruise "On Vyatka!", Down by Vyatka, Victory Day, Kama, Chistopol.
May 9, 2013. The ninth day of travel. Early in the morning we moved away from the veranda of the recreation center "Green Miles" and headed down the river Vyatka. Our twelve-day cruise continues, but now we are moving in the opposite direction.
Day is sunny today! In honor of Victory Day and "taking Kirov" the deck of the ship is decorated with colorful balloons.

We go without stopping all day, looking at the banks of Vyatka.

The automobile bridge connecting the cities of Vyatskiye Polyany and Sosnovka.

The field is like a striped mattress :)

And then Vyatka got close to the houses of local residents. Someone has the river Vyatka even in the garden.
05. 
But not all houses are built so close to the spring flooding Vyatka. Perspicacious residents build houses higher.

Trinity of the village is frozen on the right steep bank of Vyatka, look at us :)

18. 
Almost the middle of May, but in the ravines the snow has not melted yet.
19. 
All. "Moryanka" disengaged, Vyatka ended :)
20. 
And this is Chistopol - the city (since 1781) on Kama. In the 17th century, runaway peasants settled in the place of the future city, then their houses were burned and a clean field was formed. Again on this, now a pure field, fleeing peasants began to settle. So the name Chistopol arose.
21. 
Welcome to Chistopol!
22. 
Chistopol river port. We are waiting for a bus-walking tour of Chistopol. Those. We in the port sit on the bus, we are taken 2 km, planted, we wander around the city and on the bus we return to the ship.
23. 
As a result of a walking tour of Chistopol, we managed to look at the following:
St. Nicholas Cathedral in Chistopol.
24. 
Three-stone stone Cathedral of St. Nicholas in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was built in 1838 with the funds of the merchants Grigory Andreevich and Dmitry Andreevich Polyakov under the project of the architect Pyotr Pyatnitsky.
25. 
In the years 1901-1902. The interiors of the church were renewed with the funds of the merchant Ivan Leontyevich Meshkichev.
26. 
The cathedral was closed in 1927 and handed over to the renovationists.
27. 
However, in 1932 the services resumed, but in 1936 the cathedral was again closed and transferred to storage facilities.
28. 
Only in 1990 the cathedral was returned to the believers.
29. 
At present, after considerable restoration works, the cathedral has acquired a pristine appearance.

42. 
In the summer of 2009, I already visited Chistopol, but then I did not go around the city, but only bathed on the city beach.
43. 
But such a picture of the sun penetrating through the holes in the clouds caught us when the ship left Chistopol.
