I was woken in the morning by the sound of squealing brakes and the unmistakable sound of metal on metal which means two vehicles have had a collision.
I leapt out of bed and from the eighth floor window I could see two cars joined at the bumper and blocking the busy intersection outside the hotel front door. There was chaos all around and this was going to last some time because after an accident in Russia the drivers are not permitted to move their vehicles until after the police have attended the scene.
Thank you for the travelogue; I’ve not been to Russia and vicarious travel is the next best thing, as you know. : ) ~ Lily

So was lack of Russian, apart from spasiba and dosvidanya (spelling!! for both of those) not a problem?

I find ordering a beer is fairly easy wherever you go! But seriously no, not really, if you can follow a city map there is no problem at all!

I think I would have chosen pretty much the same highlights Andrew. I found Russia to be fascinating and our trip filled in so many questions I had about the history of Europe. I would love to go back too
