Central House Of Tourists Moscow

... by Allie demanding to know if it was me who 'was snoring'. I grumpily denied this and then my sleepy haze was shattered once and for all. Could it really be? Yes the Hippo had returned! Only this time he was bigger and more powerful in the form of a burly Englishman in the next cabin. Yes the next cabin! I decided it would take something special to ignore something this powerful so the Hippo battled it out with my IPod for a few hours.

... of the street. I'm somewhat disappointed by it, as I was expecting older buildings and a more bohemian atmosphere and style to the place. <br><br>Arbat, although not meeting my expectations, had not spoilt the day. Moscow is a fabulous city, with a laid back way of life. With weary and aching legs, we finished our day with the best drink in Russia - a nice cup of tea!<br><br><br> <br> <br><br>

... Visa angeht kann ich leid** nicht viel b**ichten, darum haben sich glücklich**weise Christine und Petra kümm**t. Ab** nach ihren Erzählungen war vor allem das mongolische Konsulat in Wien sehr speziell. Das Konsulat war nicht wirklich als Konsulat zu **kennen. Da war nur eine Frau, die ein seltsames mongolisches Süppchen gekocht hat. Meine Aufgabe war es, die Tickets zu besorgen. Hätte ich gewußt, was das für ein Aufwand ist, ich wäre einfach zum nächsten Reisebüro gegangen ...

... Saviour which was very ornate and pretty inside, if a little over the top. We got good views of the Kremlin from the bridge next to it. We also diced with death walking down to the Red Square to take photos of St Basil's Cathedral by crossing an 18 lane road. We even tried peach iced tea Calippos's - yummy! We are leaving Moscow on Monday when we are going to Yekaterinburg on the Trans-Siberian railway, which means about 24 hours on the train. Fun fun fun!

... of tourists, who clearly DO NOT speak Russian, speak English. "Just Because". Now, we raced across through the mall overpass and then all the way down - this wasn't just around the corner he was asking us to do... it was a mini race of the bulls as we all tried to barge our way to keep our places in line we felt so rightfully was ours. We did pretty well, and were in within another 15 min. Now you cannot take in cameras or cell phones that take pictures into Lenin's haven ...

... of the cathedral. We then crossed a bridge that led to Balchug Island, created in the 1780s by the construction of the massive Vodootvodny Canal for flood control. The Island and canal area were picturesque and obviously a popular spot for lovers as a pretty arched bridge crossing over the canal was covered in padlocks, carved with the couple's names. In fact there were so many locks that little iron trees had been created in the centre of the bridge and these were ...

... a boat to float and call it a tour, she's in! So as per the norm we went on a cannel cruise through St. Petersburg, the sun beating down, not a bad way to spend an afternoon. All the cruising and photo taking had taken its toll, we needed somewhere to lay down and relax. There was a park by the river that had nice bench seats. The sun was still beating down so we laid out on a seat and fell asleep. Probably not the safest of things to do in a Russian city, well any city really ...

... there is a risk of fraud and no guarantee of safety! Headed off to find somewhere to change my Aussie dollars into Roubles. It turns out it is no simple task to change Aussie dollars in Russia. None of the money changers had any interest in my plastic money. It is illegal to take Roubles out of Russia and also illegal to use anything but Roubles in Russia. So there I was with no Roubles, no way of getting Roubles and wondering what on earth I was going to do. Luckily I ...

... our saviour. we just happened to walk in when they were getting ready to recieve the ashes of tsar Nicholas the 2nd coming from St Pete's. There was lots of police in the area, and we had no idea until later when we saw the tv cameras. We decided not to wait and picked our van, which was made to park on the side walk rather than the side of the road and head back to the hotel. Speaking of parking, in russia they park where ever they want, and you don't need to ...
