Hanging about

I'm in a much happier place today even though my morning started abruptly with the hotel waking me up as I'd overslept in a windowless room missing my check out time! To be fair to them though they did let me leave my bag there all day...

Today has been all about walking about Nizhny Novgorod viewing the sights (including an impressive array of Soviet Military machinery in the Kremlin) and hanging about I'm the cinema drinking beer and making use of the free wifi... I can think of worse ways to spend my day!!

My train doesn't leave until 23.00 but I'm going to go and pick my bag up in a bit. I'm not sure the hotel realise quite how long I wanted to leave it there for!!

I've also booked all the hostels I could up until Beijing to try and avoid yesterdays fiasco! I'm sure I'll still have some troubles along the way though, especially if there is no left luggage at my next station (Kirov)
