Day 4

Day 4 had been a long day, with our final day in Moscow and the dreaded train journey.

We began our day at the armoury museum at the kremlin, looking at all weapons, dresses worn by tsarinas, and the crowns of all the tsars. It was incredible to see such wealth in the museum.

Afterwards we visited the kremlin and visited all the variety of churches, dating back from the 15th century. All contained amazing frescos and icons, plated in gold.

Since its pancake week in Russia, for lunch many of us ate pancakes, covered in Nutella, sugar and strawberries.

Then we got to the visit the church of Christ the Saviour, and looked out upon the panoramic view of Moscow, over the frozen river, St basil's cathedral and Stalin's skyscrapers.

To prepare ourselves for the dreaded train, we got free time and got to go bowling, with became very competitive, yet everyone had a great time.

We boarded the coach and travelled to the station, and got onto the train to St Petersburg. The cabins were not as bad as expected, they were relatively spacious, and meant that people could actually get some sleep.

After the 8 hour journey, we finally arrived in St Petersburg to a crisp blue sky.

We are all looking forward to spending our last few days in St Petersburg!
