Last Days in Moscow, Russia

Hi Everyone, We had a fantastic time in Russia! We are now in Dubai with empty pockets and really isnt the place to be with empty pockets. We finished our Tour on the 24th Dec, we had christmas dinner with everyone. I was Head Chef and we made roast veges and already cooked chickens for 12 of us! Turned out alright considering we had very limited untensils and a very blunt knife. That night after our big feast tim and I meet up with our amazing russian friends. She made us xmas cake that was still warm and bottle of vodka and a very kind card. The next morning on xmas day(russia xmas 7th jan) tim and i took the train to there house, we made it there so we did well. We meet Katerina and alexi in Vietnam at Halong bay! Amazing People! Its a shame they dont live in melbourne, we have made great friends on this journey! Katerina showed us around on Christmas day, we walked a very long way, moscow is very grand! we meet up with her husband after he had finished work at lunch time and had the yummist meal, home style polish food. We explored the city some more, went to a scary house where its picth black and people jump out and grab you, then we went ice skating on the paths and then the real thing on ice skating rink. The following day we went to a fairytale castle, dressed up and acted like a princess. We then went home and Katerina cooked us borsht and similar things to dumplings. They really made moscow for us!! We arrived yesterday into abu dhabi then got the bus to dubai we arrived at 1am. Today we thawed out in the sun! Dubai is a strange place,hard to get around, massive massive place, places look a lot closer than they are. You are not allowed to go to most of the beaches unless you stay in the filthy rich hotels. We have very sore feet from out feet being out of shoes and walking in jandals the whole day! sneakers tomorrow and again we will be on out best behaviour, no holding hands, kissing, touching, swearing, shouting, eating, drinking, breathing! Hope you all had a wonderful xmas!
