Hello. Welcome. And so, back to the start of the trip. When we left a vibrant and colourful London...
onhollieday:
...for the different, often colder, land of Moskva...
onhollieday:
...and where should we stay and sleep, we thought?
onhollieday:
Well, we'd found someone on the internet... of course!
onhollieday:
"Meet us under the watch of Pushkin, in his square, tonight." they said...
onhollieday:
First, we had to Tube it...
onhollieday:
It can't be that hard to find. Can it? We've done The Tube before
onhollieday:
OK, so this tube looks more like a stately home...
onhollieday:
With messages hanging in the air from a bygone era...
onhollieday:
And also new, modern Moskow people, watching now...
onhollieday:
But how do we read the Moscow Metro signs?
onhollieday:
Looking up to the ceiling for help is sometimes some-watt foreboding...
onhollieday:
So we make a dash for the lights up the middle of the tunnel....
onhollieday:
Hmmm....outside...not what we were expecting. Or was it?!!
onhollieday:
But there he is! Pushkin! In his Square!
onhollieday:
And so we arrived at our first host. And I present you...'The Surfboard''
onhollieday:
And young Fleur on: 'The Shelf'
onhollieday:
We awake to new signs on the wall. What's it say? This is an advert for the opera
onhollieday:
So we peer out of our window...
onhollieday:
1956. Seen better times?
onhollieday:
It's clearly time for some tea...
onhollieday:
and to discover, what will our future hold?
onhollieday:
What mighty wonderments await?
onhollieday:
What new people will me meet?
onhollieday:
And where will they lead us?....
onhollieday:
And who are their leaders? (This guard, guards the plaques of former soviet nations)
onhollieday:
Let's put our thinking caps on...and head out!
onhollieday:
It's a nice day for it, in the Moscow suburbs...
onhollieday:
So a local haircut seems like a bright idea...
onhollieday:
A Moscow Makeover begins...
