The capital of the Russian Federation and the powerhouse of the Soviet Union proved to be a very interesting place to visit. There are many interesting historical sites, with the Kremlin and the Red Square as absolute highlights.
Our man with a mission, James, knew all the secret spots and organised a couple of nice rendez-vous' for us. He also managed to save us from the police, who were very eager to fine us for not carrying the "right papers". (Pointing at James: "You OK" to us: You trouble")
We seem to be plagued the whole trip by misfortune in regards to visiting monuments. Mao's tomb was closed for maintenance we missed the Europe-Asia Obelisk because we took a different route and Lenin's tomb was closed because of the victory parade that was held on the Red Square.
However we did cool things ad we really enjoyed the visit. Up to St Petersburg!

I admire your strength!
I did a lot of traveling when I was young and healthy, and I have good memories and good photographs, and it was good to read of your experiences.
If you talk politics, I'd like to read about that too. How do people in China and Russia feel about things?
Thanks for sharing a good blog.
