Looking at the Metro stations.
First – Komsomolskaya.
Novoslobodskaya
Belorusskaya
Kurskaya
Outside the secret Nuclear bunker.
65 meters down (I took the stairs).
Behind the door is the metro station.
The Kremlin and Moskva river.
The British ambassadors residence. (Other side of the river to the Kremlin.)
Christ the Saviour.
Monument to Peter the Great. Only 20 years old and 98 meters tall. (Rumoured to be Columbus originally, but the Americans didn’t want it.)
Muzeon Sculpture Gardens.
Gorky Park.
Model of a proposed lighthouse.
Bridge over the river linking Gorky park with a park on the other side of the river.
Dancing in the park.
One for the ladies.
Aleksandrovsky Sad.
What do you mean you have no bread.
I once caught a fish that was this big.
Tomb of the unknown soldier.
Restaurant outside the hotel.
Strange place next to the hotel. It’s called Izmailovsky Market, and has souvenir stalls, a flea market and what looks like a film backlot. (More photo’s of it tomorrow.)
After a week I need to do my laundry.
And find out what this beer tastes like.
