Royal warm-up in Moscow

The main part of the Czars Reunion is going to take place on the unpredictable Transsiberian Railway - therefore the Czars needed decent preparation before setting off... they spent almost 5 days in Moscow and did a 2-day trip to Saint Petersburg.

The first two days, Saturday and Sunday, were spent by all three Czars and Sasha together - they were exploring the Red Square in the main city center, enjoying traditional Czar Russian architecture and having fun in clubs, sauna etc.

Monday was more like a working day - czar Fredovich went to earn some last roubles, and czars Bonegovich and Madonovich needed to take care of many administration tasks. Especially the so-called tourist registration was a tough part, but they all managed (with essential assistance of Sasha), despite spending the whole day dealing with the business. More details coming later on. Hopefully.

Two days spent in St. Petersburg was a deserved holiday for czars Madonovich and Bonegovich. At the same time it was their first chance to prove their Russian communication skills, as they were travelling on their own. There is going to be a special report describing this expedition.

Thursday and Friday of the last week were dedicated to the second round of Moscow sightseeing - this time focused more on the ordinary-Moscow-life experience, in order to adopt more features of native Russian behavior that could be benefitial on the approaching trip.

Last but not least, some pictures are to be found below...

Long live the Czars! :)

Good habits never die - the Czars posing

The Czar's suite is located in the left wing of the residence (on the right), two floors below the blue neon rooftop ring. It is only 12-minute walk far from the Kremlin (just across the river, in the left dark part of the picture).

Second round of Moscow sigtseeing: outside the center

Moscow metro, the world's second biggest metro system.
It is well known for majestic design of its stations.
