Its been quite a few years since I have been to Moscow so I don’t know if things have changed. If you want something different from a holiday.. or want a bit of an adventure this is the place to go… be warned … when I was last in Moscow the temperature got to minus 26 degreesC. Now that is cold!! brrr…

public transport is pretty scary – I was pulled off a bus by a policeman with an icycle hanging out of his nose and he held a gun up and demanded US dollars from me all because I didn’t stamp my ticket!! The flea markets are amazing if you want to get a souvenier or two. Gorky Park in the winter is fabulous, go and see all the ice sculptures, there is even a play park with slide all made out of ice!TIP : Don’t go to the circus I was very upset by this – they have a lot of animals in it and they aren’t nice to them. Finding food is always a bit hard and I struggled with the language a bit but all in all an amazing experience and I would love to go back!
