increase in businesses the bench is an important transport hub connected by the railway network to st petersburg moscow karelia and finland about one hundred fifty kilometers northwest of the former capital roughly five express trains a day leave from the finland ski station and take almost two hours to reach seeburg trains also connect here from moscow many visitors can come here from now sinking talent further afield by boat or bus the first railway station in the bank opened in eight hundred sixty nine was part of the railway track connecting sim petersburg i'm guessing force as how since he was then called the ground where we station we see now is the project of architects from st petersburg built in one thousand fifty three in the typical grand stalinists style the bird is one of the biggest and most beautiful towns in the leningrad region the name consists of two parts the word bird meaning a town a fortress and as part of many european towns names on the word the feet which is said to come from the old german line. meaning st the history of the book started

in the eleventh century when a small settlement once part of sweden and finland and now russia every centuries the fusion of cultures and traditions has become too apparent attractions and architectural monuments are closely connected with this history wow what an amazing view now the big attracts many tourists with stunning history and amazing architecture ok some of it is a little grotty and rundown but i think that's what gives this place its character also there are many different cultural events and festivals that take place during the year so if you want to enjoy all of them do check the dates before you visit. you can easily say the book is like an open air museum along the cobbled lanes with the bird's medieval castle walk around and a sports vacations or explore the branch of the hematology museum the location has also had many famous guests including russian composer machad link up and the ball street leader vladimir lenin as one of the most european russian locations locals

show off like some restaurants instead offering traditional russian and european because the end. inside the mediæval interior is in some interesting and payments. these mommas are really quite current. is decorated with new orals to pick from the history of the black with inscriptions in finnish swedish latin and russian during the war the tower was closed and the restaurant reopened in one nine hundred seventy six and since then has become one of the main anything can use in debug. if you're looking for a popular place to eat in the barrack this restaurant is a great choice not only do they serve delicious food but there's also live entertainment today there's a many hundred ton sherry there are many dishes on offer to have gone for the traditional. and the menus are all printed in english russian and finnish which is

ideal for me i was trying to say. absolutely delicious. so what other tourist sites can be to sit in the back there are several museums on the grounds of people's castle and one of them is a museum of torture the rather dog display features contraptions used to punish interrogate and execute people during the middle ages although the museum founder's say none of the actual exhibits have any news in the casa and they are all replicas . of seeds but yet those that are the these items represent the epoch which is called the late middle ages there are also still items from a later period but generally they were not used after the thirty years war in the first half of the seventeenth century we've tried to depict some of the most popular medieval means of execution prevalent in the majority of european turns of the time. there are several restaurants in your pain cuisine because

there is a bit restaurant in the old town its name comes from the legend connected with the first owner bought cars who also had wine cellars in the back he attracted visitors to his venue offering the largest portions in town also a pile was served to every guest and it was promised that the luckiest one could find a pearl inside one of them pastry with pell's gimmick is long gone but the portions in the restaurant still generous. another restaurant which attracts tourists in the back is cool could it lead to more located in a quaint area in the old historical part of the city the atmosphere in this art cafe as the owners call it is quiet and relaxed. when the weather is nice they have an outside terrace and live music on weekends you can also create additional self choosing from the list of ingredients provided on the menu there are several hotels in beaver grinding for modest accommodation to more expensive hotels the victoria

cup against australia on saturday all the players arrives very picturesque town of nelson on wednesday back to the match and the russian coaching staff starting fifteen but will play against the australians and they've made changes to the side lost against ireland or six of those are in the pack the biggest decision that they had to make was through to play a fly half a newly cushion out of race ahead of constantine rushkoff laundry also of course a miserable tournament continues for sale sharks log came into the wall come with an injury and he's failed to shake it off and unfortunately won't play a single minutes of rugby here in new zealand but i'm delighted to be joined by adam burns having quite a lot of emotions will be going through your mind when the match gets underway on saturday. is certainly an experience do you think was ever going to be a possibility not long ago that's for sure in here playing against a lot of former teammates or people that i've played against in the super rugby

competition is one i'm very much looking forward to doing you'll be a marked man of each. game people try and tackle millions of nothing nothing stupid the wallabies ago bigger and better things to look forward to such as the quarterfinal but also i mean in terms of australia. sometimes we even managed to sort of turn out for australia early in your career always or just way fate. things were every young boy that plays rugby and. aspires to be all over him. that's something i certainly wanted to do just like any other. kid in the way things are paying their you know if you turn thirty this year and have the opportunity for international rugby in the world cup. it's a great way to get finish my career but when the teams aligned. and you here advance australia fair. people have been saying it and what i'm

going to feel at home i can't really predict that but it's certainly could be different but i mean growing as opposed as a kid you must've been supporting australia i mean over two thousand for a world cup which is in australia i mean you've been probably been a little beasts. so i was at the so we follow in the in the fall against england. one hundred percent just in the wall of his jersey at a guy being sure i would win and like i said it's always been my dream it's always been my goal to play for the wallabies only an even. played rugby beginning the when i found out and i found out there in a world cup i didn't even hesitate but australia was installed as my favorites of a game the wallabies coach robbie deans so isabel is a more than just a fine mixing it with the big boys of this world cup. culture the fact that they'll be leaving the country within twenty four hours so they want to they want to finish . good night will be not only playing some some rugby playing some constructive

regular showing their pride showing the meaning to them and then a little bit of physical commitment we had a fixture against us last in wellington there we go the result that we were happy with a. significant number of points are scored but the game itself was physical it was tough. going to be the same or suspect i'll show you and you'll be in the video analysts of been looking at the russian play and i think russia trying to model style really australia very open game look to russia have to do to try and get up to the level of sail straight up you just go to. them prepare for it. you can pull something out that you haven't prepared for so i guess it's that training of staff with conditioning that was in the in the one really obvious. improvement across the board through a couple of the side. conditioned and they have become the major had you play hey you know probably that that has physically fit and. i agree with you there's no

doubt that. i wish you had on these skills and working hard on on broadening the their approach of emotion play is structure i mean play. is. back to being good strong fast. bowling. the. very good could play for any sort. and that's the thing this is the critical mass component of the. numbers of pride. for any so. there's a critical mass point where. the. discredit momentum that becomes irresistible i mean to be this is the main weakness in fact you're just not been exposed to sort of playing to one nations over the last few years. overseas that sort of intensity competition is good. and to be honest

i'm not familiar with the with the are routinely but it's very evident that have it working had three of the making good progress. of the russian plays a fairly enjoyed the world cup just going back to saturday's game and if they can people starting to run to fifty points that will feel like a massive moral victory for the beds. don't see nelson new zealand other back with another obs aides and a couple of hours and don't forget to check out our youth channel artsy sport news your comments are more than welcome thanks for watching.
