Friday 4th June

woke to a big storm in motel 150 km short of Moscow...hot and clammy today..............arrived Moscow (MOCKBA) 11.50am...8 lanes of traffic with zebra crossings--people just walk out-some don't even look!!!! still arriving at 12.50---at 2.20 still driving, eventually found hotel--but no thank you ---we don't like the look of it-----5.15 still driving but now leaving Moscow.....we had wanted a few days in a hotel and time to wander around the city but its just impossible....never again will we vist Moscow it's the worst city we have ever been in with the worst drivers and the worst road system --we have seen a good ten accidents today, they just seem to swerve into each other then everyone stops to wait for the police.....eventually we find a pitch off road with no horse flies and its quiet!!!
