Only 36 hours in Moscow



...is not nearly enough. Especially when it has rained half of today (well, makes me feel at home). It truly is an amazing city. The skyline is a curious mixture of skyscrapers, ranging from c1930s style (New York-esque) to concrete blocks, interspersed with golden onion domes at regular intervals.
We have only had time to do the basic tourist stuff - the Kremlin, St Basil's, the Metro (which is almost as impressive as Glasgow's).



The last member of our party has joined us (though his luggage is elsewhere. Seems to be a theme for this trip...) He is on special Government business, though he says he can't tell us any details, or else he'd have to kill us. Code name Mikhailovskiy. Don't tell the KGB.
