Escaping the blizzards of Westbury Park with some difficulty, and much help from Barry, we haved passed through six capital cities, stopping briefly in Paris, even more breifly in Berlin and for longer in Moscow. There, we had lunch in GOM/GUM/GYM - the town sized department store, now Broadmead shrinking shopping arcade for designer labels (photo 1 and 2). Its brightly lit front dominates Lenin's now revolving mausoleum (it stops you noticiing him spinning in his grave!) but takes second place to the Kremlin's great red walls across Red Square.
On we went to the Urals and Ekaterinburg, where Di explored the igloo on the site of the Romanovs' Execution (photo 3). We also rehearsed a good walk for the strollers - see next update.
All the very best to friends in strollers and GOM.
David and Di.
