Arrival in Moscow

Wednesday July 7th

I arrived at Moscows Sheremetyevo airport on at 20:10 on Wednesday evening, where I was met by Lena who saw me back to the youth hostel where I was to spend my three nights in Moscow.. We weren't leaving till Saturday, but arriving early gave me time to complete my registration formalities and for last minute planning, as well as two days to re-acquaint myself with Moscow.

Having dinner in Lena's room. Like me, she doesn't actually have a dining room, so we sat on her bed. imgp1820.jpg

This was taken at about 4am, having stayed somewhat later than I had intended. imgp1825.jpg
