14/09/09 The sun shone on Moscow today as we firstly did some doing and headed to the North of the city to pick up our Trans-siberian tickets. We love the Moscow Metro, but it did fool us at one point....Tickets bagged we headed towards the Ostankino TV Tower to check out the view at 337m. This took us to the entrance of the main botannical gardens and past the Kosmos hotel (probably contains dark matter), the museum of Cosmology (big statue of a 60s socialist rocket - above) and onto the monorail
(apparently the mayor's pet project).
Unfortunately the TV Tower was closed, but we did our best to imagine the view....Today we saw the future of pharmaceautical retailing in one of the metro stations.
We also went to Gorky Park. Thankfully the
re wasn't a wind of change, nor candles, nor big 80s perms.. But there was a whiff of hot dogs and candyfloss from the big fun fair and a nice al-fresco Uzbek restaurant. To get to Gorky park you can walk through the sculpture park, where we bumped into some familiar friends.
