Tuesday in summary (Russia Moscow)

1) Have walked about 20k's

2) One end of the Garden Boulevard to the other

(More info than you probably want:-

Actually Boulevard Ring isn't a ring. I mean that it doesn't form a closed circle. The streets (boulevards) forming a part of the circle (kind of an arc) differ from most of Moscow central streets: there are transport roads on each sides of them and walking path in the center with trees, benches. Sometimes there are cafes in this walking part of boulevards, sometimes monuments to Russian writers or revolutionaries :) I like walking down the boulevards. Sometimes they shorten the way (or make it the most pleasant) from one point to another (to say, from Arbat street to Pushkin square). Sometimes I intentionally choose them for a walk when I feel tired from the stones, buildings and asphalt but don't have enough time to go out of Moscow. The Ring consists of the following boulevards: Gogolevsky, Nikitsky, Tverskoy, Strastnoy, Petrovsky, Rozhdestvensky, Sretensky, Chistoprudny, Pokrovsky, Yauzsky.)

3) Went to see Christ The Saviour Greek Orthrodox Church.

4) Meet Cam for lunch which by the way here seems to be around 2pm as Day starts later and finishes later.

5) Walked another 20k's after being told by son that it would only be a casual 1/2 hour walk.

6) Caught ferry from one port on Moscow river near the Whitehouse to Red Square.

7) Walked another 3k's home via the supermarket where I bought a well earned beer.

8) Fact all the pretty girls that they talk about - well I am convinced that they only talk aboiut them cause i ain't seen none yet, although Cam does assure me that they do exist, obviously hid them away this week though.

You could always try:-


Really been a busy week so far and tonight Cam has arranged a dinner out with some of his friends that should be good to meet them.

Tomorrow St-Petersburg just to do all the walking stuff yet again, mind you will be good to get away with Cam for a couple of days
