A relaxing morning with a Couples Spatopia Treatment before we went on a our half day tour today 'Through the Eyes of the Russian People' we checked out a shopping centre a supermarket and the food market which had fresh everything. Then we heading for the Metro to get to our next stop we had to 'pop the Ruble in the slot' hehe. They have the longest elevator I have ever been on! Time for some shopping before our vodka tasting - when in Russia do as the Russian...
