Woke up at 7 AM. Breakfast at 8 AM. Most of today was spent on the train. We had a Russian lesson and a lecture about the Tatar people at 10 AM and later we had a Russian tea-time at 3 PM.

We arrived in Ekaterinburg around 5:30 PM where we had a quick trip to the Cathedral on the Blood and a city tour. We were back at the train station around 8 PM and had dinner shortly thereafter.
