___________________________
Arrived in Moscow more asleep than alive...
The taxi drivers really wanted to take me from the airport for a mere 70 USD. I finally managed to get in that yellow minibus full of russians. Had to pay double the price because of my bag, so in the end that was 2 dollars.
Going to Russia without a good guidebook and at least a few words in Russian is definitely not a good idea... I had followed the hostel's instruction up to the right metro station, but from there I spent half an hour finding the hostel: nobody would speak english, nor read our alphabet, and I was completely helpless with reading or even asking for street names. I eventually found someone who went to get someone who knew and could explain (and that's about the only helpful policeman I have seen in Russia). I know of some people who had to roam for 4 hours before getting to the hostel.
Anyway, once there I had a great time and did not recover my missing sleep. A good bunch of people at the Hostel, not the least Bob, our 90 year-old american traveller.
