New Year's day in Mockba (Moscow). Russian Federation

Preface:
This is a journey that was born thanks to a trip made in the previous summer my friends from 3 to Sharm El Sheik where they knew some Russian girls.
In Egypt I was unable to go because I was engaged ...
So at the end of November, one evening we decided: Let's go to Moscow!
Going to Russia is not at all simple. There is so much bureaucracy between visas, permits, insurance and invitations but finally we managed to do thanks to our friends Moscow.
We were in 4 to go I, Bello, Puddu and uncle and we started out with 3 different planes: Puddu has booked a flight with the Austrian air starting on 28 and return on 2, his uncle flew with the Russian airline Aeroflot starting on January 31 and back (it was 1 month) while I and Bello have booked and purchased a flight with Swiss Air directly to Malpensa. Leaving on 29 and return January 5.
Started from Milan with a stopover in Zurich we landed at Moscow Domodedovo where we expected the taxi driver that we had sent Mary. Leave us little that has been lacking now fell to the ground! Everything was frozen (-15 degrees).
The taxi driver brought us the huge and luxurious Izmailov Gamma-Delta Hotel. Here the value for money was excellent. 15 euro per night! In this complex there was everything: saunas, restaurants, swimming pool, gym, casino, bowling and anything that can make a comfortable holiday!
The entrance to this complex was a 'last siege .. checks at each entrance, metal detector and police everywhere. Probably housed some important character ..

 

Capodanno

After 2 days of adaptation in the Russian capital comes the much awaited last day of the year. I, Puddu Bello and invited us home for dinner Shunkova. Cenone year-end Russian-Italian magiato have wonderful food and drink and drink and Italian (taken by us) that the Russian ... to 2 am greeted the parents of Mary and Anuta we left home Shunkova (I, Puddu, Bello, Maria , Anuta and Olga). We know their other friends, dancing in public squares and local authorities and concluded a wonderful evening all'Hard rock cafe.

After we wake up we shot a little 'for the city to another result vain attempt to enter the Kremlin. The evening / night was wonderful for me to finish the following morning.

In this brief summary on some 'what happened between 2 and day of departure.
On January 1 is also the uncle came and we left almost 2 with our dee .. We enjoyed a lot. The photos say so much!

We have been in many local, I can advise the "who" (which is derived from Che Guevara), "Le Parisien" (where, however, surprisingly did not get the pretty girls who were with us) and also other places that I visited where, however, must do some 'attention to who is inside. In Moscow there is the mafia!

Visit the Kremlin in the days preceding the Russian Christmas (celebrating the January 7) is almost impossible. 2 We (I and Bello) to enter the last day we paid a personal guide who made us avoid a long queue. The guide will happily spoke in Spanish. The Kremlin is nothing short of amazing!



Last note: Uncle and Mary were later married and live happily in Pavia.
