All are waking up lethargic this morning after a late night in the town looking at St Basil's Cathedral, Red Square (or as we have found out in Russian is called "Beautiful square").
Today, we will visit the Lenin mausoleum. There are many unanswered questions about Lenin such as, "Is he still squishy?" and "Will he be wearing any clothes?" - We all hope the answers won't be too horrific.
In the picture, everyone is in front of "St Basil's Cathedral" - where legend goes that the ruler that had it built, was said to be so terrible that he blinded the architect that made it so nothing so beautiful would ever be built again.
The weather here has been disappointingly warm with temperatures around +3 to 4 degrees celsius and going out in t-shirts and coats for most of us.
Drama newsflash: After some worry Gemma Thomas' suitcase which was picked up by the wrong person at the airport has been tracked down and will be collected today for the ease and relief of all involved in this flying fiasco (Gemma's dad, don't worry every things fine now).
New section of the Blog: Russian word of the day: "Prevyet" - Hi (informal) - the word used to greet people that we know.
Ben and Delara signing out, see you tomorrow!
