Russia was a place that defied my expectations. The stories from people at work of people all wearing brown and grey, and having to line up to get toothbrushes couldn't be further from the truth, well at least not these days, and the Kremlin shows that life isn't very grey and brown at all.

For those uneducated (like me), the Kremlin is the Russian Parliament, so I guess there have been some very important decisions made there over the years. And I guess, by the number of cathedrals, they felt that they needed some help in making all those decisions. In saying that, they are stunning and the dome-y things on the top make me wonder who gets the tricky job of going up and cleaning them...
Not a lot else to report without going into the history (which was all in Russian, so I can't help you there), but check out the photos.
