Trough different waters
We left St.Petersburg during the dinner along Neva-river towards lake Ladoga and the Pähkinälinna fortress, built by Novgorodians in 1323 and, where the first peace treatment of many between Sweden and Russia was made also in August 11,1323. By midnight we reached the fortress, and started to cross Ladoga, the largest lake in Europe. Next morning we had reached river Syväri (Russian Svir), where Finnish and Russian troops had heavy fights in 1944. The river brought us trough beautiful almost uninhabited landscapes to lake Onega, second biggest in Europe. That evening our group had a marvellous crayfish party on the deck under sky with a lot of Vodka and wine.
