In the morning, there was a talk on Russian Vodka by one of the ship's bartendars, Eugene.
After lunch, we arrived in Goritsy and took a bus to Kirillov to visit the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery. This monastery is currently a museum and has a nice collection of Orthodox icons.
After getting back on the ship, we had a blini cooking lesson by Chef Pavel. Blinis are Russian pancakes. Following the demonstration, there was a blini and vodka tasting. The blinis were served with red caviar. We were also able to sample 3 types of vodka: clear, pepper, and cranberry. The clear and pepper vodka has 40% alchohol, while the cranberry is has only 20%. I had 4 shots.
Following a, um, short nap, there was a special dinner. The dinning staff had transformed into pirates.
