Europe » Russia » Northwest » Moscow November 11th 2008

Today was my last day in Moscow, first of all I went to see Lenin in his Tomb...he looks quite dead but seems to be well preserved for the age of the body. I then took a look around at lots of the underground stations, there are some very well decorated ones most of the decorations are of a soviet style but they do look good. ... read more

Europe » Poland November 8th 2008

Today I was mainly just travelling, First I was on the train from Koln to Warsaw…I had a cabin with six beds 3 up each wall and was sharing with 3 other people no one talked to each other on this train although 2 polish drunks did try to sleep in the spare beds although the guards got rid of them when they could not show a ticket. Sadly this train was going much slower than it should have been and as a result it did not arrive until around 15:15 it was scheduled to arrive at 10:40.

Europe » Germany November 7th 2008

Today was the first day of the trip, I first took the Eurostar from London St Pancras to Brussels in Belgium. I was not there for long before heading to Koln Germany where I spend afew hours exploring the city. The main thing to see in Koln is the Cathedral. In the evening I was supposed to get the 21:33 sleeper train from Koln to Warsaw in Poland. While waiting for the train there was an announcement that the train had been delayed and it would be taking a different route missing Köln. Everyone had to take a train from Köln to the next station where we could meet our train. While waiting there I spoke to a Polish girl who was on her way home for a holiday from England where she is a teacher ... read more
