Moscow ... from Russia with love

Our train ride from St. Petersburg to Moscow was quite nice and well deserved after the troubles we had getting the tickets, we even got two little packages with food for the ride, like an airplane meal. We arrived at 10 pm and were greeted by Ewa’s cousin Natalia and her father Kola (Ewa’s...

Days 9-10: Moscow

After lots of movement in SP and another overnight train when we arrived to Moscow we were a bit dead. However, getting to Nika and Ivan’s house was easy to get to and her mother, very motherly like, fed us all kinds of lovely dishes while we relaxed, surfed the web and washed our cloth. We...

Russians love rollerblading! This is exactly the kind of cultural insight I was hoping to gain from my voyage around the world. They also love ice cream...even in the winter... this is why they will never be defeated acording to Churchill. Moscow is an awesome city, I mean this literally and...

The Reds

Right, Moscow. What's in store? i'd been prepared for nasty service and misery by the first night in Irkutsk. I wasn't expecting any help from anyone either, in any way shape or form. But i have to stop having these pre-conceived ideas cos, with the odd exception (see the end of this post), most...

Moscow Day 2

We showed up at the Red Square for the second day straight only to again see it closed up with heavy metal gates that reminded us of what the ter Iron Curtain meant. So no corpse viewing, this means that we missed out on seeing both corpses that we wanted to see (Mao Tse Tung in Beijing and...

Moscow Day 1

As we got up early, we decided to walk the 20 minutes down to the Kremlin and Red Square. We noticed the same as yesterday, Moscow is a stunningly beautiful city... Some amazing architecture, stunningly beautiful old streets and laneways, but the customer service throughout Russia is abysmal,...

Trans Siberian Irkutsk-Moscow

77 hours on a train, and it all went smoother than clockwork... We got on and spent an hour remarking how much better the train was than the Mongolia one had been... The "Baikal" is a gem amongst Trans-Siberian/Mongolian/Manchurian trains. Clean, spacious and comfortable are 3 good words to...
