This is more like the Russia I expected

Righto.....back to enjoying the trip.

Took the overnight train from St Petersburg to Moscow. Just as we were about to leave 3 Russian army fellas started walking down the aisle......whats going on here then......they were the new bunk mates. Funny bastards.....between us we had about 20 words we all understood.

One worked for the space agency (thought he was more superior) and the other 2 for the "rocket bit"......"yes but our rockets also go to space.......then land in America"......was their reasoning why their jobs were better.

Well a couple of bottles of vodka later we were all best mates.

All photos in this entry, unless indicated, are from Red Square outside the Kremlin or inside the Kremlin.....just saves me wording it all out......people waiting to use this puter. Check out the one of their metro station, impressive.

Jump on the Trans-Siberian train to Yeketerinberg tomorrow......am at least heading south-ish now.

Rock On,
