July 31st: The Kremlin, River Cruise and Underground.

After breakfast on the boat we head off to the Kremlin.
We get our new guide


So the learning starts, I thought it was just one main building inside the walls not knowing at one stage it was a whole city inside these walls


First stop once we in was the Armoury Museum where most of the treasures of ex Tsars are. Of note is the display of Faberge Eggs. Unfortunately no photos allowed.

We then venture down and see three of the train underground stations. The underground opened in 1935 and have become a major tourist attraction because of their elegance
