Note to all: Pancakes for every meal of the day = wrong. On every level.

From Russia with Love

Well here we are in Russia, we haven't been gassed yet, but we've only been on a train for one night. I kinda forgot to put in photos of St Petersburg but it isn't quite as nice as Moscow anyhoo. So far the Russians are MEAN. But we're plodding along nicely, I think Russians might have a problem with pancakes....they eat them ALL THE TIME!!! I never want to see one EVER AGAIN! and bye the way - I HAVEN'T HAD COFFEE IN A WEEK....


Sorry but I can't figure out how to rotate the pictures just yet, it was a challenge just to get them up at all! Believe it or not Russia is a strange place....for example, this is a picture of a shopping centre, u know, where you get ur bread and milk.....It used to be a palace - only the best will do...
This is me and Bren beside a really big bell in the Kremlin, need I say more....
Red Square with St Basils in the background and Lenin's Mausoleum all covered up by some big banner thingy for V day, we couldn't go into the centre cause there was a very stern looking policeman blocking our way, I had already been shouted at and whistled at (not in a good way) by a scary looking soldier earlier on so I think that was enough scaryness for one day
This is some of the lads in our group. They decided that it might be fun to dunk their heads in a waterfall, apparently near freezing weather just isn't cold enough for them...

Hurrah!

Well folks this is our last posh drink for a while. It's time to prepare ourselves for the local shmalcoholic brews that the natives will administer upon us. Ahem..It's all research you understand!
