Where yesterday ends for some of us, this day starts for Nydda. His vacation hasn't really started yet since he needs to go to a buisness meeting at Atlantis Communications, customers of Nydda's employer. So while Nydda is getting dressed for work, the two night hawks Hobbe & HJ comes back from their adventures in Moscow's night life. Life is unfair at times. Nydda is picked up by the CEO at 10, hoping to join the others sometime after lunch. We who have no buisness meetings scheduled sleep for a bit longer and are glad that the breakfast buffet is served until 5 PM. After some champagne and hors d'oeuvres we head for the red square once again. There are some activities there of which we don't understand much, but we get handed a bunch of paper roses and soon find out that we're supposed to put them on a tomb stone of our choice. Well, having seen enough of the red square yesterday we head towards the Kremlin. The entrance fee is about 10 euros, probably a lot less if your'e Russian. Inside the Kremlin we find Putins palace, numerous gold-capped churches and the world's largest cannon. We head home again after a couple of hours exploring, planning to make use of the hotel's sauna. But when the sauna manager wants USD 70 per person, including massage though, we decide to go to bed instead. Our flight to Azerbaijan leaves early tomorrow morning and we need to be fit for eventual visa problems due to the lack of registration stamps for two nights in our passports.
