Our hotel in Moscow and St Basil's Cathedral at night!







I have completly forgotten to tell you that in Russia the water is not drinkable!! So we had to buy always bottles of water...As you can see we ate very very bad!! We tasted sweet things from Russian ( It was good, but french pastry is better!)

The Basil's cathedral at night is wonderful...It's imposible to describe Russia by night, it's so different!
This cathedral was commised by Ivan the Terrible ( Ivan, siempre pensaba en tí cuando llamaban a Ivan el Terrible, jejeje) and built on the edge of the Red Square between 1555 and 1561. Legend says that the Tsar ordered the architect to be blinded to prevent him from ever creating anything to rival its beauty again. The cathedral was built to commemorate Ivan's Victory against the Tatar Mongols in 1552 in the city of Kazan

me alegra que te acuerdes de mi, aunque sea gracias a un perturbado sanguinario como Iván en terrible.
Eso si la catedral es preciosa, parece sacada de un cuento de hadas
