Volga region 2008, Russia

An 11 day trip which took me along the Volga by Train, Plane and Autombile. A visit to the cities of Ulyanovsk, Lenin's boyhood home, Saratov and Volgograd (formally Stalingrad).
Each city had it's own personality,this completes the list of places I had always wanted to see during my time here and worth the effort.
