Long weekend in Moscow

Back from a very packed long weekend in Moscow. Went with mum flying Thursday night, arriving 5am Friday morning. Managed to do a lot of sightseeing in Moscow itself, and also in Vladimir and Suzdal which are a couple of hundred km north east of Moscow. I'm not going to caption every photo, because there's lots here...

Down in a metro station

I met Steven Seagal while having tea in our hotel!

One of Stalin's "Seven Sisters" buildings


Funny story - Russian sculptor made statue of Columbus for the US. They hated it...they kept it in Moscow and said it was Peter the Great






Lenin's tomb

St Basil's cathederal

Each ruby star on top of Kremlin buildings weighs over a ton
