I made it to Moscow again, finally.
Three weeks ago, I had planned and booked my trip to Russia, to Moscow and Murmansk. Unfortunately, I didn't get my visa in time, and 2 hours before takeoff, I had to cancel everything,
New attempt this week, and no problem with visa this time. I have a double entry visa to Russia valid till September.
We arrived in the airport with the difficult name (S airport) around 3 pm today, and booked into our hotel. It's a great 5-star hotel called Swissotel Krasnye Holmy, located a ten minute walk from our Moscow office.
This evening, we walked down to Red Square to see the St Basil Basilika and the Kremlin. But, dammit, the camera on my cell phone didn't work, so no pictures from Red Square, unfortunately.
(Back in the hotel, we stopped in the bar and took a beer, and guess what, suddenly my cell phone had decided to be co-operative again. The picture above is my only shot today; Baltika 7, local Russian beer, fairly good, but not comparable to the fabulous Sibirskaya Korona)
