The next day we had a morning tour of Moscow with a local Russian guide, after a short trip on the Moscow subway she took us around the Red Square to see the Kremlin, St Basils Cathedral, changing of the guard and then onto the cathedral of Christ the saviour.
The subway in Moscow is something to see it is all made of marble and very expensive looking. Apparently Stalin wanted Moscow to be the best city in the world which included having the most expensive subway stations.
The Red square is definitely something to see it is surrounded by Russian culture and history. After spending a bit of time in Moscow it soon became apparent that I was a little under dressed Russian women spend all there money on clothes and shoes. But because it is very expensive in Moscow they often travel to Italy and France to by designer clothes!
The changing of the guard was cool to watch they can lift there legs extremely high! If you get a chance have a look at the video in our web album.
After our morning tour we walked to the Arbat street for some lunch at a sushi restaurant and yes you did read correctly sushi in Russia! It is apparently very very popular with the Russians. Arbat street also has a lot of street performers and souvenir shops and if the sign hadn't of said souvenirs I would have called the shops vodka bottleo's :-).
Then it was back to the Red square to wait for the sun to go down so we could get some night time photos of St Basil's church all lit up.
