moscow is the new black.
this city is beautiful and far removed from the oppressed, militant reputation it suffers. it is young, trendy and free. the sun has been our friend and it has yet to dip below 26*C.
these russians don't do things by halves. the architecture is so enormous and imposing it reaches a point of hilarity. coming face to face with the university, all we could do was laugh. it was as though someones taken the top half of the empire state building and decorated it with 4 canary wharfs.
absolutely nuts!
and the tube stations are like individual underground palaces, complete with chandeliers and bronzed statues.
i estimate we have walked about 1000 miles in the last 2 days, so i'm off to bed.
keep checking this blog, tomorrow we're popping into The Kremlin and then venturing into siberia.
absolutely nuts.

Wayhey! It sounds like you are having super smashing fun... which is making me slightly jealous. I can't wait to be off jaunting myself- but at the same time I'm starting to get the jitters... possibly because much like your trip was until recently, our itinery is as vague as a conservative cabinet member...
