Advantages: Fascinating city, diverse mix Disadvantages: Expensive, arbitary opening hours, queues
a fantastic statue of a spaceship flying off into space. Great.
We wondered around the site, it also has some fantastic fountains and the juxtaposition of a site originally intended to celebrate the successes of Socialism that has now been turned into a haven of Capitalist markets ? full of knock-off cheap goods made in China was fascinating.
Then the food. This was the most disappointing of all. The food was generally very expensive, all the restaurants are about London prices, but the food is sub-par in terms of quality and taste. We ended up having MacDonald?s a couple of times!! We went to a Russian chain of restaurants, Yolki-Palki and paid £18 for 2 people to eat stodgy potatoes and meat and beetroot. Not very appetizing.

It comes in a standard size bottle (75cl) for about £6 and is instantly recognisable by it's somewhat egg-yolky yellow colour - I've only ever seen it made by Warninks although there may well be some supermarket brands out there. The bottle has a 'classic' label which hasn't changed for as long as I can remember! It is a very thick looking, slow pouring, somewhat unappealing in appearance drink but if, like me, you have a penchant for Snowballs, you'll like it!
Ah yes! Snowballs, sickly but very drinkable, especially for "the ladies". This drink consists of a measure of Advocaat, a dash of lime ...
