Andrea Hearts Traveling

Holy moly!!!!!!!! It is HOT!!!

I really really really realllllllyyyyy dislike heat and my two next destinations are going to be hotter than hot!

My route has been a little convoluted due to cheap flight, meeting with people or not being able to go to a country because of visa issues so now I almost made a 360 turn and I’m back right next to the middle east… So tempting to take the bus from Yerevan to Iran! I miss Iran!

Day three of Moscow started early again!
The crew (composed of Maggie from the US, Miguel from Spain, Johan from Sweden, and Nick from Australia) and I decided to visit the free Lenin Mausoleum that is only open for 3 hours everyday. In order to get in the guide told us we needed to be there early because those who line up at 11am have zero chance of getting in because of the long lines, so around 9:30ish we all gathered and waited in line. The mausoleum opened at 10 and within 20 minutes we all went through security and visited the Mausoleum.

I left St Petersburg the cheapest way I could… on a night train! For less than $30 I got a small top bunk in a cart full of Russian people. Getting to my bunk was super easy; as the train approached people started running up and down as they figured out where their wagon was going to be but since I had no clue I stood still and waited for the train to stop to figure out my way, and guess what? My wagon literally stopped in front of where I was standing... couldn't have been any easier!

So… I am so not a museum kind of person but everybody I met highly recommended the Hermitage saying it is the louvre of Russia so I gave in and checked it out… three times!

I finally made it to Russia! Yeay!
