I'd looked up a few bits and pieces about them before we left, so lucky Ben got treated to lots of fun facts along the way! It was a gorgeous walk, and we were both amazed at how beautiful the buildings are. There are a few very stern soviet buildings, which are pretty interesting to see too.

... but that would simply take far too long and frankly I can’t be bothered. But If I were to talk you through every room, every picture, every sculpture and every artifact on display there it would take me years and as it is I’m writing this over 2 months after I was there so it would be impossible to remember them all, so I shall summarise.
