Moscow

From Suzdal by van and then bus from Vladimir to Moscow, and a serious lug of luggage via fairly busy metro using three different lines to our home stay. Yes, Moscow metro decorations impressive but your focus is elsewhere in the crush of the moment ... A quick visit to Red Square to get our bearings, then dinner together at a cafeteria style restaurant.












One disadvantage of group travel is that you focus on following rather than finding out your own way. Missing Nevsky Prospekt!

Our home stay is a multi room flat, in which a family of up to five squeeze up to fit in half a dozen tourists, adding a couple of extra toilets to meet the need.

Tonight pickled cucumbers, the next day pickled Lenin.
