Tuesday
24 April - Last day in Moscow
We've
been out all day today, so no time to write the blog. For the
next 3 days and 3 nights we'll be on the train to Tashkent,
Uzbekistan, arriving on Friday evening, 27 April, when we'll be 4
hours ahead of the UK.
I'll
write about our last day in Moscow when I'm on the train, but won't
be able to post the blog until Saturday (all being well). We
will have internet access in Tashkent but it could be in the form of
fixed computers rather than wifi for our own computer. We
really don't know yet.
Just
to say briefly that the temperature high in Moscow today was a
pleasant 21 degrees c - a precursor to Tashkent where it'll
probably be 28 - 30 degrees c. Our fleeces will be packed away!
We've
stocked up on food from the local supermarket - filled rolls, loaves
of bread, butter, cooked meats, cheese, crisps, biscuits, Mars,
Snickers, cup-a-soups, pot noodles, and fruit. Anyone would
think we were preparing for a siege! However we took the advice
of a fellow traveller (see yesterday's blog) not to rely on the food
on the train - also it will be expensive.
Reg
and I are booked first class for this journey, so we'll have a
compartment to ourselves. I think this will be my first real
test of being out of my comfort zone! Hurray for my kindle (and
I might even do some studying).
