The hard bit travelling




We are now in Dubai airport waiting for the flights to Singapore, Melbourne, Adelaide. This is an amazing place – there are people everywhere and it’s 6am. There are 360 gates!

Our last days in Moscow were great even though we were winding down.

We checked out the cathedrals and old churches in the Kremlin.

Then we went to Sergei and Tatyana’s flat – they were the Russian couple we met in Suzdal. Sergei met us at the Metro station and we walked back to the flat. 100m before the flat we entered a forest. That’s right. Right in Moscow, a big area of native forest (see photo). We walked to a spring where we drank and filled our water bottles.

Sergei is understandably very proud of his district. The explained that in winter is is especially beautiful and enjoyable.

We then had a great tea (photo) and a chat.

Next day we packed and went for a last walk around Zoya’s district (photo of her and her building in the reflection). The weather was again really sunny which made it even better.

Getting through the officials at the airport was a breeze. What were we worried about???

See you soon.

Cheers……………Brian and Kathy
