Sheila at the Spooky Kremlin
We left Moscow on Sunday, after staying up way too late watching the outrageous Eurovision. I was very outraged, as France should have won, and I thought England's entry was fab.
At least the vodka was good.
Sunday we just chucked our bags into left luggage - in this not-so-paranoid/careful part of the world you can still leave your bags everywhere! Then we raced off to see Lenin, and of course the entire Red Square was closed (at least we got to see the famous Red Square gates)
Then we spent hours roaming around the Kremlin. I was especially thrilled to see the Black Madonna icon - or copy of - and the Jesus of the Fiery Eye icon. They aare are pretty incredible. Like, really, what the were the artists thinking??
After lunch at My My (Moo Moo - for which I want a franchise) we saddled up and went off to Yaroslavl station with our knapsacks on our backs, and boarded with supplies on the Tomya train
Three. Days. On. The. Train....
