Summer 2014 was special because Henry
and Peter travelled overland from Europe to Asia.
We took the Trans Siberian Railway to
Vladivostok, ferry to Japan, and returned to Finland via Malaysia.
All aboard!
An engine in the night.
Following a good night's sleep on the
Tolstoi train from Vainikkala, it was breakfast and off to see the sights of
Moscow.

We started our day's sightseeing with a walking tour of parts of central Moscow.
The Bolshoi theatre.
Kremlin's Saviour Tower.
The Historical State Museum on Red Square.
St. Basil's Cathedral.
A church in the Kitai Gorod area.
The black limousines waiting to put on their blue lights and rush round to the Kremlin.
The view from Tverskaya Street.
After lunch at an Il Patio restaurant, we took the advice of The Scorpions and "followed the Moskva River down to Gorky Park", where we strolled around and rested in the sunshine.

Henry in his favourite metro station, Mayakovskaya.
As evening set in, we went back to the Komsomolskaya Square and the Kazansky Station to catch our next train - the 'Tatarstan' to Kazan.
