Russia 2017 - Day 3
The Writing Hub • Sep 20, 2017
(Thursday 7, September)
Day three was also an early start, breakfast was at half seven before getting on the bus to the Museum of Cosmonautics. Our tour guide showed us each step that the Russians made during the Soviet period and explained what Sputnik meant. Which was friend. We were able to see where the international space station was on the map as it orbited the earth. From there we saw how the Cosmonauts lived in space and how they trained for the tough conditions of space. It was then back on the boat for lunch before spending some free time on board.
At 5:30, local time, we set sail towards our next destination which was Uglich. After setting sail we got to meet the captain and our fellow travellers while drinking champagne, dinner wasn’t long after and then there was free time before hitting the sack. The cabins were on the small side but it had everything you needed, a bed; shower and wardrobes. The shower room was quite interesting but again enough for a two week holiday.
Wow! It’s been a while, I mean a whole seven months, since I last posted on here. But here we are and another book review for you....
Let’s take ourselves back to Earth after spending the last three million years in deep space from my last post. And this time the year is 1846. Alma Katsu’s book The Hunger is a blood-thirsty, heart thumping, thriller of a book; taking you in to the wild barbaric wilderness of America that is still inhabited by Indians.
Right Smegheads, here’s another book review, and this time it’s Grant Naylor’s Red Dwarf.....
Here’s another book review for all you lovely readers out there. This time it is ‘The Returned’ By Jason Mott. A lovely, sweet and touching story, where Jason has taken his experience and memories of his late parents and put them into a book and wrapped it around a storyline which is not only sad but moving too. This is the backstory of The Returned, and I think that anyone who reads The Returned should understand the backstory as it makes you appreciate the book a whole lot more.
In this post, as my first attempt, I will look at the book 'Sail' by James Patterson & Howard Roughan. A book that crosses between a horrific crime and a thrilling read. A book that leaves you gripping the pages and wanting you to turn them over in the suspense of wanting to know what happens next. A emotion riddled story, with a chilling heart at its centre. So… let's begin!
Tis the season to be jolly
Everyone’s putting up their holly.
The sleigh bells are ringing,
The children are carol singing,...
I start my 3 year university course today. I know that it is a big step but a step that I wanted to take. I decided to commute as it is would be cheaper than living on campus. That’s another challenge to overcome; with mobility training and knowing that I can succeed in anything that I do. University will be just another...
I have just started my second term at RNC, which is a specialist college in Hereford, and what a term it is going to be. I’ve settled into my accommodation, made friends and being independent for the first time. Oh yes! Assignments are going well, although I’m having too much fun with D. O. during class. And in the....
Dear diary,
I can say that you are probably, and the only, friend that I have right now. I’m sure that I have people who could be classed as ‘friends’ but they just don’t have the patience or knowledge about how difficult my life is. How challenging it is for...
Our last morning on board Nikoly Chernyshevsky, and again breakfast was the same as usual; cold meats; cheese and omelets. We had to be out of our cabins by 9, so it was a quick dash back after breakfast to brush our teeth and make sure that we had everything packed. Once our cases were outside the cabins we....
