We haven't updated our blog in a wee while so we thought it about time that we update everyone with the progress of our travels.
We travelled from St Petersburg to Moscow on the overnight train and arrived in Moscow at 8am in the morning. The train was our first experience of 4 berth hard sleepers and although it wasn't too uncomfortable a night's sleep, it was a bit random sharing a berth with two random Russions who did not speak a word of English.
We stayed at Godzillas Hostel in Moscow which was awesome - especially the beds! - and we met all the rest of the guys we would be doing the Trans Siberian rail journey with. It was a really good group!
In and around Moscow we of course did all the touristy things such as visit Red Square, The Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum - where Lenin's actual body is lying on display perfectly preserved - and St Basil's! We also sampled traditional Borsche - very tasty - and the obligatory Russian Vodka!
We only had a couple of days in Moscow before catching the Trans Siberian Train which would be our home for the best part of the next 3 weeks!
