After 2 days of heavy rain, I almost forgot how to spell the word "sunshine". What a difference a day makes. The following day turned out to be the most pleasant one of the whole trip. And for a change, instead of having lunch on board the ship, the cruise liner even arranged to have barbecue on the shore.

Mandrogi is a village with some souvenir shops and houses to illustrate the traditions and lifestyle of Russian's past. There's also a Museum of Vodka for the visitors to learn how their traditional alcoholic drink is made.
