Day 10
Kizhi Island
Today we docked at 0730 and the Pogost on Kizhi Island witch is an open air museum the island is
only 8 kms long and 1km wide and only 6 family's live there now despite its remote location in the
later part of the middle ages onward it was very prosperous thanks to its trade with timber,furs and
fishing
It was also the site of many invasions from Finland until Peter the Great established sovereignty
in the area.
