We then arrived in Moscow this morning. The ride was horrible! Lousy road conditions, not only because of the bad weather and the traffic, but also because of the huge potholes. Because you can drive on dirt roads in Germany, faster and more pleasant.
Accordingly, we were all tired and totally ready. Unfortunately we had upon arrival at the Red Square begin the sightseeing tour and we could not absorb all the information because we were all so ready yet.
But Moscow is truly gigantic. With over 10 million inhabitants, it is a world metropolis. Skyscrapers, slums, huge roads ... A very spacious city. It is always a Kind of fog over the city, rather smog.
very strong police presence. Very impressive building. Kremlin and Red Square are probably the most important and popular tourist attraction. There is also the Lenin Mausoleum.
evening we were back on the road.
Some people from our tour group, have unfortunately had some bad experiences in Moscow. They had to buy themselves free from the police because they had no passport there. Or others were robbed at a police check by the police themselves. Still others came in a disco in a drug raid. quickly became clear to us in Moscow, where the clocks run the other. We felt insecure and so we were glad when we are 3 days later again were in Finland.
had the next day in Moscow we have a guided tour of the Kremlin. The design was very interesting. In the afternoon we were still in the Polytechnical Museum. And in the evening we drove back to St. Petersburg.
Moscow is compared to St. Petersburg is a cosmopolitan city. A huge city and wares city life with all the good and bad sides. The metro is very impressive. You feel like in a museum, because all the walls and ceilings are decorated so beautifully.
But I think it is in Moscow is not without its dangers. I would not go on your own to Moscow and rumspazieren not alone there.
St. Petersburg seemed to me but sumptuous and stylish because of all the palaces.
We were still a day and a night in St. Petersburg and then drove on the last day back to Finland to Turku, where we drove through the night with the ferry to Stockholm. Total
was the Russia trip a great experience. Russia is absolutely worth seeing and so a road trip was also (mostly) fun.
