Nervously (for me) we made our way to the train station to drop our gear for later. With some dollars folded in my passport we did everything to make sure we did not look like foreigners (hard to hide I guess, but to be honest we have been continuously mistaken for Russians). The police did not harrass us so we stepped it up and visited the Lubyanka area (the evil old prison and offices of the KGB and now the FSB). Still no arrest – this spy stuff is easy!

A VERY long walk took us around some of the older areas of Moscow and we looped back to Red Square and an ice-cream stand.

Relief (for me) as we got back to the train station. Then V started to panic that we may be at the wrong station (Moscow has lots). We got confirmation and then proceeded to be thoroughly fleeced – £14 each for a kebab, mash and a Coke!
