Our first day in Russia we were awaken by a brass band playing when the saints come marching in on the dock beneath our window  we went on two excursions.  In the morning we toured Catherine the Greats Palace, we were not to impressed, very ornate, all the walls were covered in gold leaf.…

“Zis your first time in Russia?” asked the woman behind border control at Domodedovo Airport. Since passing her my passport, the thin-lipped security officer had poured over the visa and immigration card as if expecting to find microfilm. She looked up and scrutinised my face. I kept it as neut…

One of my favourite cities!

Dubna is a small town at the upper Volga known mainly for its famous center of nuclear research which was established there in the 50's.

Not the actual events themselves, but the locations and some of the set-up.

The new site for the Four Seasons Hotel in Moscow is a fantastic location just on the edge of Red Square. The hotel is currently under contruction but you can see it is going to dominate this area and become a landmark in its own right as time moves on.

In 2000 I started to travel around the EurAzian continent. Not in one vacation ofcourse, there is work waiting for me at home, but in leg of 6 weeks. Every journey is about 3000 km long.

Our stay in St Petersburg, Russia from December 27 2008 - January 1 2009

I got to go on tour all around the northern hemisphere with Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas in 2007. Places like Moscow, Bucharest, Budapest, Tel Aviv, Addis Ababa, Almaty, Stockholm, London, Cyprus, and a few others. The single most memorable trip I have ever taken!
