Moscow days 3-4

It's about midnight on day four of our stay in Moscow. The last 2 days we've packed in lots of different sites that Moscow has to offer tourists.

Some of you asked what the boat is like. This boat is owned by Grand Circle Tour Company.   It can accommodate up to 200 passengers. We have a hundred and eighty eight on this trip. The passengers are divided into different group of about 25 to 30 each. When we go out on excursions we have our own bus and tour guide.  We also have individual local guides for specific places each day.  The most important part of the team as far as I'm concerned is the bus driver.  You haven't seen traffic until you've seen Moscow traffic. There are seven lanes all going the same direction. But the lane markers seem to be only suggestions and people weave in and out of them at a moment's notice. He'll definitely deserve the tip we give him at the end of our stay in Moscow!

Tomorrow we begin the actual cruising part of the trip.  We'll see what kind of Internet connection I can get then.
