| Photos of Irina & I in Moscow | |||
| This is a small selection of photos of me and my girlfriend (at the time, now my ex-wife) Irina, on our [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. | |||

This is Irina outside our hotel, all 28 stories of it! The view from the window was pretty cool! |
|||
 |
|||
| The hotel pool was a bit cold though! ;) | |||

| Irina in Red Square on a wet and windy Moscow day. | |||
 |
|||
| The architecture around Red Square is quite fantastic to see. | |||

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 Irina 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 Irina 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 Irina 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. | |||
 |
|||
Oh, I even managed to track down an "English" theme pub. It was fairly authentic, being at least as expensive as the Blue Boar! |
