DAY 1

Well finally here after many dramas. Won't bore you with them all but will say for anyone wanting to come to Russia, there is a lot of red tape to cut through. I should know this, being that my mum lives here, and kind of did but you always over look something don't you!?

Had lunch today with typical russian service. All the food came out at different times and mine had to be ordered about 5 times before it came. Even when it did, it was wrong!! Never mind. whatever they brought me was nice enough!!

Also went on a trip around the Metro. Moscow has some wonderful artistic stations in the Metro. Some with statues, stained-glass windows, mosaics, paintings and chandeliers. Its also very deep down as it was designed to be used as bomb shelters for the city's people. The Metro itself runs very smoothly (not like the London Underground) and there are trains almost every minute. Russians are not famous for their politeness though as you may know so the barging and pushing was like London rush hour x5!

Until the next time! From Russia with Love!
