It's been 3 years since the last time I was in Moscow. I was excited about this trip, I've mentioned about it in my previous post. But my excitement swooped down on the day we were leaving.
It was Saturday... a day after Paris incident happened. And before that, there were text messages circulating about some warnings of such terr-act. I've heard the same from our friend in Moscow. Although later it was said in the news that those are just coming from fear-mongers, I couldn't not think about it. My excitement was replaced with worry. It wasn't the best time to be the country's capital, to be in the subway where there is always a big concentration of people. Nevertheless, we proceeded with our plan. Life goes on.
I was very much looking forward to take the double-decker train. It was my first time in it.
It was really nice. It was pretty exciting on the upper deck. There's a better view of the outside scenery. I love trains, especially newer and better ones. They've always got better restrooms. I can't complain about the beds, they're all good...even the ones from older trains. Oh, one thing about the double decker train is that the upper bed is a bit more cramped than usual ones. But if you're not planning to sit and do things there, then there shouldn't be any problem. To be honest, I like trains much more than planes. I sleep way better in the trains. It feels like a rocking chair or a cradle to me. Only if I could take train from Russia to Philippines, I think I would :)
Our journey was 10 hours. We arrived in Moscow very early in the morning and it felt like midnight. Agh dark and snowy...but beautiful.
To be continued ...
