Straight after a good breakfast our guide arrives.
The deal is he tells us where we should and should not go, points us in the direction to see things and leaves us his mobile number should we get in trouble. She had an appointment in the city late afternoon so she asked if we wished to go to the city with her using the local train. We were in!
The train was packed, obviously peak hour.
We got off at the theatre area and walked towards Red Square.
A number of statues of Oleg Popov, the popular russin clown of the late 1950's
Through a monastery which was being restored, it went back to Napoleon's time and the only one to survive WW2
On the way he took us into a deli which started in 1901 which was famous to all the locals.
We arrived at Red Square where she left us. She did give us our train ticket home and instruction on what line to catch and station to get off at (Stations and line in Cyrillic).
We have been to Red Square before but it was good to see again and they were putting up May Day decorations ready for the parade.
Monuments representing Pushkins fairy tales.
Pleased to say we made it back to the hotel without a problem, although a good Vodka did go down well.
