On our first morning, had a "off the beating" track tour with Moscan woman called Lana. We strolled around some beautiful boulvards of the city towards the house (museum) of Russian dramatist Maxim Gorky....where we came across photos of George Bernard Shaw along with Gorky! Had some tasty Russian food and back to the hotel! On our final day....we went the famous Kremlin and the funky Intercession Cathederal! That night we boarded the train....on which we would spend the next four days & nights on!! Sharing a small cabin with a very large Russian woman called Lidia! Travelling right across Russia into Siberia....with our next stop at Irkustk......along the way meeting some funny, strange...serious...stupid....and very drunk people!!! :)
