Moscow

Slept until 11. How lazy, but definitely needed a catch up.
Red Square had extra security after the Volgograd bomb the day before. We walked to the gulag museum but it is closed on a Monday. Looked at the delicious cakes in Café Pushkin (but neither of us felt like sweet things) and have to confess we had a late lunch at Mc Donalds. It was cheap and filling.

We then viewed Christ the Redeemer Cathedral, and again found the museum of fine art is closed on a Monday. Quite a grey day in Moscow. Just heard there was a second bomb explosion in Volgograd.

Had dinner at Punch and Judy pub after walking around Red Square and the shops.
