Although we had a "lie in" yesterday, it was still a difficult morning at the history museum reminiscent of those first school periods on a Monday. Our completely fascinating guided tours, which gave us a completely fascinating deeper insight into the February revolution 1917, was the part of this trip most relevant to our course, which was completely fascinating.
Next, was lunch at the manège shopping centre just by Red Square. This was our first real taste of Russian food (well, Russian fast food).
Next, to the boiling anger of many Russian art enthusiasts, we managed to queue jump around 500 places into warmth of the New Tretyakob art gallery where we examined te changing cultural art that came with the commencement of Communism. Many of the pieces had very inspired titles, such as "woman with red hat" or "a glass of milk".
Dinner at the hotel followed, then a walk around the park of economic achievement. Although morale was low, everyone feeling lethargic, all that was needed was a inspirational speech from the almightey Dr Coke-Woods. Violent fist movements and changing tones of voice added with the soviet rocket were used to spur up the troops reminiscent of Lenin, next he'll be asking to be buried in the Kremlin wall. We salute you sir #cokewoodsarmy #beepbeepbeep.
Lucas also got the chance for some traditional Russian dancing in the square.
Signing off, See you in St Petersburg, bye!
