Hello everyone,

we've had a very productive day in Moscow, seeing lots of important things: Red Square, The Kremlin, St Basil's and Lenin ('he was waxy'- lou). We've also tried traditional Russian food and it was tasty (and plentiful).

Tomorrow we leave Moscow for Ekateringburg which will only take a day on the train. We're there for a couple of days before heading off to the beautiful Lake Baikal that you can see in the picture. The train to Baikal will take two and a half days, which should be good fun. Luckily we've already got to know the people we'll be trapped on this train with and they all seem great, with lots of hilarious travelling stories of their own. Internet might be a bit sporadic for a while but we'll update you when we can.

Lots of love,

Usxx
