Found out yesterday that Red Square is closed until May 9th so we won’t be able to see that.
Woke up around 7:30, Song now has a cold and sore throat, I’m feeling a bit better. Don’t know where she could have got it.
Warm and sunny again, but needed a jacket.
Went around the corner to a Paul’s patisserie and had a coffee and pastry.
Decided to go to the Kremlin to see which museum we could visit, they were closed yesterday.
Turned out that they had opened Red Square, so we were able to get pictures of the cathedral and the other buildings.
Pottered around for a bit but decided we’d seen enough palaces and cathedrals so went and sat down in GUM for a while.
Went outside again for more photos, then back to the hotel to chill before getting the metro and train to the airport. We flew to Kiev first, had a 2 hour stop over then onto Dubai. Bought a sandwich at the Kiev airport, had to use a credit card because we didn’t have any Ukrainian Hoojamits or whatever they use, and hoped I wouldn’t see charges for a couple of military helicopters on it when I got the statement.
We arrive in Dubai at 0300 in the morning because our flight was changed, but haven’t booked a hotel – we may see if they have a day or hour rate, or find a lounge at the airport, or just find a seat to get some sleep.
