Day 3: Moscow and the Train
For our last day we did have lot to-dos on our list. So we decided to visit the second hand market at the Ismailowski Vernisage. We toke the metro and it was again a grad pleasure to see the nice metro stations of Moscow. The market was now very crowdie, but it was nice to see all the interesting things they sell there. My mother had a funny negotiation with one of the market seller there. The old lady couldn’t speak a word English so my mother turned to speak Italian. She said to have the negotiation in Italian reminds here at the market seller in Italy.
Afterward we toke our luggage from the hotel and walked to the train station. We were one hour earlier there to make sure that we find the right platform. To be honest it wasn’t a big deal, things are the same in Russia then everywhere else in the world. You enter the station hall, there is a big panel where all trains are listed with departure time and platform. So you just have to walk to the right platform. To get on the right wagon was the same easy. All the wagons have boards in one of the windows on which the number of the wagon is. Our conductor was not that easy, she was not in a good mood and I’d like to say good mood is something that woman doesn’t know. But that couldn’t bring us down. We had booked business class, so we even got the dinner deserved in the cabin.
