Day 23
Today was a transport day without any tests. We drove 480 km on smaller roads through scenic landscapes. It is amazing how much Russia has changed since we were here in 2013. The roads are much better, the driving behaviour has changed, especially amongst the truck drivers.
The most notable development is to see how the cities are changing, as many houses and buildings have been restored and many new buildings can be seen on the skyline of the larger cities. We also passed the Volga river.
We are now in Nizhni Novgorod, the Volga River is running through the city. It is a modern city, very beautiful and worthwhile a visit.
