We made it to Moscow

The thought of getting on yet another plane was not that appealing, however after two and a half hours in Heathrow Airport we boarded the British Airways flight to Moscow. We had seats right at the back of the plane so knew that we weren't going to get off in too much of a hurry and get to the front of the immnigration queue like Cam suggested.

The flight was four hours. Surprisingly immigration went quite smoothly although the queues were quite long, and we received our stamped admission into Russia and to make our day, our two bags (total of 32 kilos between us!) arrived on the conveyor belt. Cam was waiting for us and we travelled into Moscow by private taxi. It was a distance of around 16kms which took over an hour and we arrived at the apartment @ 5 p.m. local time. It was just 30 hours since we had left home in Melbourne.

It is now 9.30 p.m. and we are heading off for our first venture out in Tverskaya Street, which is the main street in Moscow CBD, and Cam's apartment is on this street. It is just wonderful to be here with Cam and experience his part of the world. We have lots of plans for the next few days to see a little of this great city.
