Didn't do an awful lot today. Ekaterinburg is the economic and cultural capital of the Urals and more importantly for us much easier to navigate than Moscow. We visited the Romanov death site where Tsar Nicholas II and his wife and children were murdered in 1918; there is a church to honour the family and 2 wooden crosses; one which marks the spot. That's really about all we have done here; I probably won't write an entry for a short while, as late tomorrow we board the train for about 50 hours as we travel to Irkutsk.
