You would be forgiven thinking this is a picture of us and our luggage on our way to the airport - Its not as we were in a Toyota Avensis. This is the venerable volga estate, but the amount of luggage is similar!!.
We also passed this truck - an old russian army Zil according to our driver.
Both the above pics taken on one of the Moscow orbital rings - wacky races best describes the driving style.
Got taken to Sokolniki Park by Arthurs Russian pal Artem. The park is very neat, formal flower borders, kids amusement rides and smooth paths for roller blading & cycling. The attraction for us was the bbq place and bar. Shashlik, chicken, selection of fresh/pickled veg. a beer or two and some Ukranian chilli vodka!! As if drinking vodka russian style wasn't enough of a challenge, we don't have just any old tarty flavouring like orange or cranberry, but a full blooded red chilli. After downing a shot it just got hotter & hotter - and that then left 2/3 of the bottle to go. Good grief it was evil.
Last visit to HQ - Naberezhnaya Tower in the business district
First stage of the remaining journey home is the train from Pavletsky Station, and look at the happy faces
Flights await at Domodedovo, all on time and a hassle free remaining 12 hours or so to home.
