Trains Home

Had 8hrs in Moscow.  An hour was spent finding a bank, getting Roubles and then putting the bike in left luggage.  Braved the metro to try to get to Red Square.  Failed because my Garmin GPS had the centre of Moscow east of Red Square and the Kremlin.  The Europe map in the unit didn't have enough detail, neither red square or the Kremlin appeared.  Moscow has traffic problems, I daren't use the bike.  The Metro is all in Russian and was a little confusing, we had 4 stops on the way in and only 3 on the way out, with the same start and finish, still haven't figured out how that happened.  You need to be able to read russian to figure out which direction to travel.  Had a good walk and caught sight of what must have been the Kremlin just couldn't cross the street to get there because of the traffic, it was getting dark so I returned to the Leningradsky to wait for my train.  Left on the Helsinki sleeper at 10.50pm.
