From Russia with love.....
... called Chili’s that Jane had introduced us to in KL and that had a branch in Moscow that had only opened earlier in the year. Not very traditional Russian food I know but after three days and nights of pot noodles and cuppa soups now was not the time to be experimenting with Russian cuisine. We searched on Google maps and much to our utter delight it was in the very same building to the hotel! We ...
We get closer to God
... by the way that they decorate their wedding cars. Some are very elaborate - and original.
Our final stop before lunch is the Great patriotic war memorial - it commemorates both the war of 1812 and WW2.

We stop for lunch at a small local Armenian restaurant ...
Treasures of the Tretyakov
... br> The tour was great but we were not done. We climbed back in the bus for a short drive to the Metropole Hotel and the long walk back to Red Square. It was close to 11 P.M.

When I got up I went to get some lunch, and most of the food in Moscow is expensive and homegrown. While I was eat my lunch in the park I saw kids playing soccer, indoor ice skating and hockey. I went to go talk to ...
The Spirit of Moscow
... lack of any obvious eateries, except for a rather uninviting local café near to the hostel. After our GUM overspend earlier, we decide to buy some food from the supermarket and cook it in the cramped hostel kitchen instead. The walk to the supermarket is easy but crossing the eight lane road, divided by a canal with footbridge, is almost a suicidal task.
