22 Oct: What a long day! We decided to have a sleep in this morning, but the children at the hostel had other plans! They ran, and slammed doors, and shouted and screamed! No peace for us! Our breakfast was porridge and swedish scorpor. The rest of The dag we went sightseeing on foot around st. Petersburg, Which took 6hours! Phew, now our backs hurt and our feer ache!! We saw The winter palace, Alexandrovsky garden a few cathedrals including the St.Nicholas church and the river that runs through the city. We met a nice Russian man who thought emelies pack looked way too big for her body "100kg on a 40kg girl?!". Then we spent the next 5 hours at the train station waiting for our train that didn't leave until 23:55, the benches were really hard and uncomfortable but Emelie had some crossword puzzles with her so the time flew by :) when the time came to board the train we had to ask a guard which train it was, as it turned out, the fancy train with footman standing by every door was the train we were leaving on! Talk about leaving with style. The room was really nice, but the beds were kind of hard. We had two roommates as well, a woman and a guy about our age. They seemed nice :) we arrived in Moscow about 8o'clock (6o'clock Swedish time) after a pretty good nights sleep. We had to make our own way to the hostel, no expensive taxi this time! We took the metro instead which cost a total of 56RUB instead of 2600RUB. We used the metro like we were actually Russian and found the hostel in no time. Unfortunately we found it too quickly, we can't check in until 12:00 and it's only 9:40. We just had breakfast that Emelie was not satisfied with, not because of the quality but the quantity, too little for her footballers body ;) well update you soon again!
With love
