3 / 7 / 2010 - Поехали !

 

Quote from Gagarin, but luckily travelling to Russia is not as dangerous as riding a Vostok capsule in 1961... Two uneventful flights, beginning with a very early wake up in Bologna, at around 3.30 AM...

No wonder I would have been tired for the rest of the day... Quick stop in Prague, and then to Moscow, first destination of this trip. Since the Sheremetevo Airport is linked with a congested highway to Moscow, at the arrival it is Aeroexpress and then metro to the Warsaw Hotel, near Oktjabr'skaja metro station.

After the arrival at the hotel, it is time for a shower and then a walk to the center, where I'm welcomed by the usual cloudy weather... it seems that the Red Square has something against me...

Then it is time for a long walk around the Pokrovka and Kitaj Gorod zones, heading then back to GUM and the hotel for a well earned sleep.

Diari di viaggio

Even if this caption is in Italian, I think most of this blog will be in English, with maybe some Italian and Russian... I'd like to make this a small diary about what happens during my frequent trips, but beware, till now they had been quite uneventful, and I hope they'll keep on like this.

So, most of the posts will be on the impressions about countries, cities, people and so on, hopefully not something too entertaining as this usually means being in some trouble, and even if after that, maybe it is possible to laugh about it, when you find yourself in those situations, it is not so pleasant...

I try also to illustrate the posts with some kind of interesting photo, usually taken by me, and maybe showing the pictures is the main reason for this blog :-)
