I'm in Moscow. So far haven't done a lot in Moscow, but I am here and that's the main thing.
The train journey was fairly pleasent, had a sleeping compartment with four bunks in which to pass the night, slept reasonably though I think I woke up a few times during the night. Arrived here in Moscow around 8am and was driven to the hotel. Hotel looks a lot nicer than the Neva in St Petersburg but it's also a lot further out, gonna have to use the metro a lot by the looks of it. I went up to the Kremlin today and looked at the cathedrals up there before meeting my guide in Red Square who then showed me round a lot of the city, to the extent that my feet now ache. Now in an Internet cafe called NetCity, not as nice as the Quo Vadis in St Petersburg but it serves for the moment. I've been considering whether or not to go to Lenin's Mausoleum while I'm here. Since it doesn't exactly seem like my favourite choice of how to spend a day. Oh well. I'll see what happens. Anyway I'm going to leave this soon and see if I can go find somewhere for a good meal before I head back to the Hotel. Possibly try on of the vegetarian places Simon E-mailed me about.
