At the heart of Moscow, is the Kremlin and Red Square. Wes and Delia took us down late one night to see it all lit up, and we managed to get back and hang out a few times later in the week. The area is full of people, drifting around, tourists taking photos, eating and people just hanging out.

Along one side is an expensive store Gym (pronounced Goom), streching about 100m, on the other side is the wall of the Kremlin and Lenons Tomb. We weren't able to get inside Lenons Tomb, due to long queues and limited opening times. Although before we went I was quite keen to see him, when we were actaully there I wasn't so keen. Seeing a dead guy covered in wax lost its appear once actually there. At each end are churches, with the most famous one, St Basils at one end. But the colors really come out at night when put under the spot lights.

Russian Orthodox churches are scattered everywhere throughout Moscow, easily spotted due to the garlic style tops. The most famous is obviously St Basils and it really is very impressive from the outside.

Russia, well Moscow at least really is a city of strong imagry and powerful symbols. It was great to stay with Wes and Delia, they really opened their home to us and made everything so easy. Thanks again guys. Think the next trip to Russia may have to be a tranz-siberian rail ride starting at Saint Pettersberg going to China.
