Another 21 Moments from Moscow

Hello from Moscow again.

Due to an unpredictable work schedule I am stuck for Moscow for a bit longer than expected and got to see a few more Russian delights (and sunshine!). Here's a little photo story of the interesting stuff I've seen so far...

Queuing up to go see the Armoury in the Kremlin - Absolutely fantastic treasure-like display. A must see.

A secret photo of the grand staircase at the Armoury (no photography allowed). This is just the tip of the (golden) iceberg!

Entrance to the Kremlin

Inside the Kremlin walls





The ancient lift at Cafe Pushkin (very posh, but the athmosphere and food are fantastic)



There's never a dull moment in Moscow

Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Absolutely devine decorations inside. Entrance is free



Statue of Peter the Great who established the Russian Navy

Gorkyy Park



Metro station

Busy people in the metro

Next post will be from UK soil! Happy to be heading home soon!
