- <H1> The final stop along my tour of Murmansk would be “The Waiting Woman” statue, likely dedicated to the many women who await their husbands to return from being at sea. There was no formal address to the statue and I couldn’t find it on google maps, but after some real digging I found a website that did provide an address, so I plugged it into google maps and started walking. I kept following the instructions, but eventually came to the address, which was no more than a giant cluster of huge Soviet block apartment houses. I looked and looked and looked some more but never could find it. I eventually gave up and called a cab, as I was way too tired to walk back the three or so miles to town. In hindsight I should’ve asked a local, but I guess I’m just a typical guy……doesn't like to ask for directions!
- <H1> My next adventure wouldn’t come until the following day when I visited the nuclear icebreaker Lenin. The Lenin had been in service from 1959 until 1989 when it was retired eventually being converted into a museum in 2005. Every day at 12 and 2pm there are guided tours in Russian, so I decided to take the 12pm tour. It was not a long walk from my hotel to the port, after all I could see the port from my room. Unfortunately because I used Google maps to go there by foot it routed me the long way around to the ship through the rail yards of Murmansk and through the port area. It was not exactly a problem, just that there was a much simpler and quicker way.
- <H1> I got down to the area with a fair amount of time before they started the tour at noon. When I reached the Sea Station where cruise ships and ferries depart from, a Chinese girl frantically came running up to me and said in English, “do you speak English”. I said yes and she said that she had lost her phone in the snow and could I help her. I said sure and started hunting around in the deep snow. It seemed hopeless, like finding a needle in a haystack, but we kept looking. Eventually I found a small glow on the edge of a snow bank and sure enough it was her phone! She was overjoyed and hugged me.
- <H1> After finding her phone in the snow we both moved onto join the tour of the Lenin nuclear icebreaker. Along with around a dozen people we stood out in the snow waiting for them to let us on board. Eventually after a good ten minutes of freezing they finally opened. I asked for one ticket in Russian and amazingly enough was given the Russian Federation Citizen rate even though I’m not a citizen. Not sure why as usually they’re pretty strict on who gets the Russian rate and who does not. And even though I speak pretty good Russian my Scandinavian-American looks somehow give me away.
