Trip to Russia, Mongolia and China

Moscow city, Red Place. 5th day. Quatorze Juillet.

Today a day without guide. Today is it in France the famous "quatorze Juillet", so we make our own party, we visit the city Moscow again.

We took early our breakfast and so we were before nine o'clock in the Metro. Without a guide is the right train and station a little difficult. So we made a photo from the stationnaam, than we can find easy our hotel back.

the big suprprise today was the opening from the tombe de Lenin. It was exeptionel, because the tombe is normal closed. Today was he open from 10h jusque midi. At nine were we lining up. In no time was the line about 300 meters long.

Exact at Ten started they with controling the people, better than on a airport. We started a nice historicel tour... We came from the sun in the black tombe, the stairs were also black.... It was a slowly and difficult expedition, special for some very old people.

It was a typical experience. Lenin in the lights, light rose.... Pity, photos are forbidden. You must take self once the line. But be fast, because its the last year that you can see him. Only on Thursdays.

After the visit walked we a bit over the Red Place. We made some photos and than was it time for the GUM. The modern shopping Mall for the 'new rich'. All the important companies like Dior, Bose, louis Vuiton, Dyson, etc are there. You can ques..... We visit Apple....

Lunch by MY MY, thats Russian for Boehh, thats what the cow says. Its an original Russian restaurant, with the original kitchen. We took Borsht, Haring with Beans and Red beets with a nice Russian Beer. Not bad at all.

the afternoon was for The Kremlin. We were visiting all the churches in the Kremlin,

1. The Annunciation Cathedral

2. The Dormition Cathedral

3. The Archangel Cathedral and

4. The Church of the Deposition of the Robe of the Holy Virgin. Also forbidden to make photos. But we were amazed, so many beautiful icoons, its a fantastic tresor what they have there.

We walked via the Secret Garden to the main exit from the Kremlin. When we entered the Red Place, a surprise, the whole place was closed for a military exercise. It took an hour to come back to the other site of the place because we had the plan to go to the Bolshoy Theatre. But... we did it. The way back with the Metro was a bit complicated, but also that we did. The result was that we at about six o'clock entered our Hotel. Tired but very content.

tomorrow a last day Moscow. We are leaving tomorrow the city by train at midnight.
