Hey Everyone :)
We are curently in Moscow and about to set off to visit St Basil's cathedral and the Kremlin. We arrived here by overnight train. The carriage was tiny with 4 people squashed into it but luckily we are with our tour group so know the people in the bunk opposite. Our group is lovely, everyone is British which is nice because we can actually have conversations with people. Our Honcho in St P was called Vadim and he was very friendly and fun and our Honcho here is called Yulya :) Russia is really lovely, very very busy but beautiful. The people aren't the friendlist bunch in the world here but we have made do and stuck together as a group for most activities. We went up and into St Issacs which is a beautiful Cathedral and there is gold eveywhere! The Winter Palace was definitely my favourite, i actually got to stand in rooms where the Tsars and their families ate and partied and ruled from! We have eaten so much lovely food including bosch, dumplings, fried potato pancakes and yummy thick hot choclate and cinnamon and poppy seed cakes. Luke has bought a furry rabbit hat which actually fits his head! Right i must go we are off to Red square to explore. Pictures to follow and we will be in touch soon.
Love Pip (Luke is in the shower) xxxxx
