A day off from riding for sightseeing in Moscow. We get taxis down to the shopping mall for breakfast but this turned out to be a non starter as it was stone cold when we got it, so refused to pay and walked out. Taxi then to red square in Moscow but Steve Rob and I got dropped off in the wrong place and we never did find the rest of our party. Steve and I also then lost Rob. There were lots of world cup fans about sightseeing around the Kremlin area. A fantastic atmosphere and an absolutely wonderful city centre.
Steve and I did a boat trip along the Moscow river for a couple of hours which helps to rest our weiry legs and of course a beer on board also helped.
We then try and get a taxi back to our hotel - not good news! Plenty about but none seem to want to stop, so eventually we get help from a local shop keeper who kindly orders us one. The taxi ride home to the hotel took nearly an hour through the rush hour traffic but still only cost us about £6!
A bit of maintenance on the bikes, shower and then a TGI Fridays at the local shopping centre finished the day off.
