Another disturbed sleep with boys and girls running between dorms screaming. Earplugs helped to dull out sound slightly but not enough. Lazy morning before setting off to red square again. Went and saw cathedral of saints, just past pushkins art gallery. Then had walk up main tourist street. My cryllic map reading skills are actually quite good! (although my mum still insists on asking others for directions). We stopped for a wee snack today, one drink and pancakes cost 6 pound! Tried to find wall of peace but eventually had to give up. Had a wee stop at supermarket for pasta sauce (four pounds) and marvelled at unreal prices here. £10 for a box of special k or jar of honey or for bargain price of £8 you could get a box of frosties! Had dinner in hostel where polish guy told us he is an extreme traveller, staying in hostels like this is not all that extreme however! Did our washing tonight too, so everything is nice and clean for start of our transiberian train journey tomorrow!
