Moscow

So, here the first round of pics from Moscow. It's colder than expected...

So, first a "friendly note" from a waitress (in the end I still felt robbed, payed 9 euro for 2 capuccinos... with 3 hours of internet and warm inside, but anyway):

The Mausoleum from Lenin (you can read the name in russian):

 Me, freezing, in front of St. Basil's Church:

I am wearing already the Vaude gloves, the buff and I don't want to think about -30 degrees in Siberia...

Me ready for the action:
