Gorky station at 7 am, then vladimir at 10.20am, with a 15 minute stop at each. Even though the stops are short, they are highly prized and anticipated. A good chance to stretch legs, watch the engine being changed and take some photos. Vladimir is flanked by the glistening gold turrets of Assumption cathedral on the hill. The sky is copper sulphate blue and the gold turrets stand out for miles.
We feasted on some hard boiled eggs (going a bit green), a hunk of excellent black bread, a softening banana and the last of a jar of Chinese peaches.
We are 60km outside of Moscow and have travelled over 6000km by rail since our journey began.
We are looking forward to the sights of Moscow, and walking for a couple of days before the next train on Wednesday to Berlin.
