After agood nights sleep, we started early in the morning to catch the train to Moscow. I guess I officially record the coldest I have ever been. -34 it said at the station. The run to the cabin froze my fingers and took almost 5 minutes to get the blood flowing back.

Ironically the trains are getting better and the legs shorter. A overnnighter and a 24 hr train on the best train yet. The cities are getting larger and the stops far between, indication that we are heading to the capital.

We got in room service in the train, now that is something…

I have heard that the train stations in Moscow are beautiful, and I saw what they mean. Frescos in railway station with 50 ft High ceiling and grand chandliers welcomed us at the station we arrived at.

Moscow is snowing as I write this and is at -10 deg. Warmer than yesterday and I will have to layer on waterproof gear to mice around town.

This place is expensive though. A 20 min cab ride costed us 120 sgd (prepaid) and that is literally obscene.

Well we are here and Moscow is the most expensive town in the world and said to offer great sights. Russians think Moscow is not real Russia but I am Hopeful of some good time in this town too.
