We arrived in Moscow around 8am yesterday after an 8 hour train journey. The train was amazing, we spent an hour all compacted into one cabin drinking votka then decided to crash as Monday was a long day and we were knackered! In Moscow we got some pancakes for breakfast and headed to the Red Square. There we saw Lenin's tomb and the Pevrovski Cathedral. The cathedral from the outside looked spectacular. The inside was quite disappointing though. It had been turned into a museum with some cool little gangways, but there wasn't really anything to see. Unfortunately the Kremlin in Moscow was closed so we went today instead. The Kremlin is full of churches which are stunning, though I need to read more into it as the honcho didn't really know any of it herself and we obviously didn't have a tour guide. We went to see a modern art museum yesterday which had some cool exhibitions, though I am not generally a fan of modern art.
Moscow itself is an amazing city and I am looking forward to going to the circus tonight! Wish I could spend more time here and see more of the sights as there is so much more to the city than what I have seen so far. I may be going out tonight, although I suspect it is a bad idea as tomorrow at midday I embark on
the longest train journey ever! 3 days to Irkutsk.... can't wait!!!!
