ДРАНК

This afternoon has mainly been dominated by wondering around Moscow translating Cyrillic names into English. My first big success was translating souvenir shop (although to be honest looking at the shop it wasn't really rocket science).

I also visited the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was was spectacular!!!! and the wondered the streets of Moscow looking for bars, success none.

Saying that, I'm quite taken with Moscow, I've found the people friendly as cities go and the place itself is certainly grand in its scale. Tomorrow I'll visit the Kremlin.... Hangover permitting.

This evening so far has consisted of drinking the cheapest beer I could find (70p a bottle) and cheap vodka (2 quid a bottle) off out tonight with the Aussie, Canadian and American contingent from the hostel, who are all lovely. Vodka hazed eyes

3 things I've learnt today

1. Don't cross the road and walk along the river in Moscow... There is no return crossing

2. Russian cakes are the best in the world!!!

3. Moscow does not have any street visible bars
