Nizhny Novgorod, Russia on $100. Racecars, History and Giant Cookies
In this episode of Russia: Tips, Tricks & Travel, Tim is visiting the ancient city of Nizhny Novgorod with $100 in his pocket. The word “Nizhny” means “lesser” or “lower” but this great place is lesser to no other city! In order to get here from Moscow Tim hops on the “Strizh” high-speed train which cruises at 90mph. He then gets on the local subway system to drop his stuff off at the surprisingly clean Nice Hostel NN. Hunger then overtakes him and he goes to get what is considered “the best shawarma (doner) in Russia.” With his protrusive belly full Tim then goes to take in the sights of the historic local Kremlin. From there it’s a quick walk to one of the largest staircases in the world, the Chkalovskaya, which leads down to the river and provides an unforgettable view. Next Tim must get over his fear of heights to ride a cable car (the Nizhegorodskie Ropeways) across the river and as the sun sets he stops for an amazing bar-style dinner at Seledkaicoffee, the name of which sounds not so great in English. Waking up the next day, Tim goes to the Nring race track to test out a custom race car, the stock base of which was made with pride in the region. Then Tim buys a legendary praynik cookie (biscuit) to take home from Tea and Gingerbread located downtown.

Russia Sleeper Train - Kazan to Nizhny Novgorod - Not bad in 4 bed cabin, my 5th Sleeper experience
This is my 5th sleeper train in former Soviet countries and first of two sleeper trains during my Russia trip. This was a 4 bed compartment booked on Russiantrain.com. The only option was 2nd class comfort for $61 USD, I would have preferred a 1st Class with only 2 beds but I guess these are the only train types. I chose to goto Nizhny Novgorod instead of going direct to Moscow to break the trip up and see another city people usually just pass thru

A film about my travels to Kazan and to Nizhny Novgorod. We took the train (section of the trans-Siberian) from Moscow to Kazan, flew from Kazan to Nizhny, then took a train back to Moscow. It was very cold -20ºC every day in Kazan and -15ºC in Nizhny. These cities are beautiful. I want to see how they look during the summer!
