Road quality can change suddenly. And it seems very suddenly when one crosses an Oblast border. The roads in Saratov Oblast are not good. The roads in Penza Oblast are good. From smooth as silk to bump bump bump in a matter of inches I cross into Saratov.
Saratov city is nice however. Fairly large, and next to the Volga, it has a seaside feel about it. A long promenade next to the river sports many cafes, bars and restaurants. People walk, ride, skate board up and down. Boat trips can take you up and down the Volga, from here to Moscow one way or to Volgograd the other, Party boats go round and round in the night time booming load music and disco lights. And to remove the hangover the next day there are plenty of Swimming points a long the river where people take a plunge. I think I am going to like it here, a few days R and R I feel!
