  Photos of Irena & I in Moscow - Page 2
 
 

This is a small selection of photos of me and my girlfriend Irena,

on our recent [apr/may '03] holiday together in Moscow.

 
  N.B. This page is mostly photo's, so it may take a few moments to load all the pictures.

Irene standing next to the biggest canon I've ever seen.

The canon balls weighed 1 Ton!!!

but I know which one of the two scares me more!

  This is Irena outside the Bolshoi Ballet. Those of you who know me may not believe this, but Irene managed to persuade me to go to the Ballet!

  Irene wasn't very impressed by the show (La Sliphyde), she says it wasn't that good. As it was the first ballet I have ever seen I wouldn't know, but I enjoyed the experience. But that's probably because I enjoy doing just about anything with Irene!

We decided to go and see a english language movie in the Radison Hotel. It's a very smart hotel, but it seems the cinema isn't that popular, there were only three of us in the place!

I tried to persuade Irena that I had arranged it as a special treat for her, but she's just too smart to fall for such a line!

  This is Irena outside one of the most impressive and formidable buildings I've seen, you can see it from across the city. I believe it was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in communist times.

Irena spotted a famous Russian actress [the lady in the orange jacket] while we were wandering through town.

Apparently she played Mary Poppins in the Russian version of the film.

Oh, I even managed to track down an "English" theme pub.

It was fairly authentic, being at least as expensive as the Blue Boar!

   
  Well, I hope you enjoyed the photos. If you did then pop back in August and there should be some more of us on holiday together again...
