PETROPAVLOVSK, RUSSIA-This is a city without style since it didn't expect visitors. It is shut off from the outside world and is only accesible by ship and by plane. It is part of the Russian Far East and is 9 time zones away from MOSCOW and Russia has 11 time zones in all. It is the world's second largest isolaated city after Iquitos, Peru, but has a population of almost 200,000. The fishing industry flourishes here along with the military which houses Russia's largest nucliar submarine base for their Pacific Fleet plus important military radar installations.
THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA IS HOME TO THE WORLD'S DENSEST POPULATION OF BROWN BEARS. A MATURE MALE STANDS 9 FEET TALL AND WEIGHS A WHOPPING 800 POUNDS!
I took a shore excursion called "RUSSIA COUNTRYSIDE DACHA EXPERIENCE. We traveled about and hour outside of the town to a dacha (country home) of John and Vonna where we were served special lunch with entertainment by the local people.
