this was the view out our hotel window this morning about 6am.....snow building up on the window ledge....we checked in straight from the train, so were able to have a shower, breakfast and a sleep!!!!!
The eternal flame that burns outside the Kremlin....the unknown soldier is buried here and guards are stationed here 24 hours a day, all year...must be freezing I n winter.
we watched the guard change over...they do so every hour.
Red Square looking at the Kremlin walls

loved the contrast here of the old buildings and modern smoke stacks..
looking back to the Red Square and church
part of the Red Square...
this is the back of the museum we went to, The War Museum of 1812 which David enjoyed very much. After this we tried some geocaching but didn't have any luck, so then we negotiated the Metro system to get back to the hotel. ..we ended up at the wrong station so had to get back on and come back one station...very confusing but at least we got out of the snow for a while.
Roll on tomorrow!!
OMG! It looks so dreary and cold. Lovely pics though. Was the metro good like Paris and London?
