After a hilarious Aeroflot flight back to Moscow (during which all of the seats flopped forward on landing, crushing everyone), I took some time to sight-see, having fled so quickly the first time around. The Kremlin, Red Square, St. Basil's. All fantasic.
I then tried to get a train ticket back to St. Petersberg, as time was running out on my visa, and getting stuck here was not ideal. Of course, all the ticket-people in the station were profoundly unhelpful, telling me in no uncertain terms that if I couldn't speak Russian I should kindly fuck off. I assume that's what they were saying anyway. The only place left to try was the international ticket room. They were a lot kinder, but of course, they sold only international tickets.
So, Helsinki it is then.
