Moscow-Part 1

The giant mural in the Nizhny Novgorod train station

I checked out of my hotel & ordered a very cheap Uber taxi to the train station for my morning train to Moscow. The train ride was 4 hours with 6 stops on the way to Moscow.

The seating configuration on the train was weird.  About half seats in the train were facing each other and these seats had about 2/3 of the normal amount of legroom of the other seats.  Unfortunately since it was the day before a holiday, the train was full & I just had to make the best of it.  When I arrived in Moscow, it started snowing.


I only had a short 7 minute walk to the hotel from the subway.  I am staying at the same hotel that I did last year in Moscow.  The location is good and the price is very reasonable.  The lady at the check-in desk told me it was 70 degrees here last week.

Red Square was closed due to the Victory day parade the following morning, so after dinner I decided to head over to the area of Moscow with the new modern skyscrapers.  I was able to take some really good photos the first night, but I brought my tripod with me the 2nd night to get some even better photos.

Here are some of my better shots.

Saranda

The bus ride from Berat to Saranda wasn't one that I was looking forward since it was a very long trip on mostly rural mountainous roads.  The bus was scheduled to leave at 8:00 am and the apartment owner volunteered to go with me to the bus station to make sure I was charged the normal bus fare ($10).  It turns out that the bus driver was the apartment owner's cousin. The mini bus left on time, but unfortunately did not have air conditioning.  Fortunately it wasn't too bad leaving in morning when the temperatures were cooler & with the windows open.  We took one rest break during the 5.5 hour trip.   The countryside was very scenic, but the roads were not in the greatest shape.  I was dropped off near the center of town in Saranda.  It was an easy 15 minute walk to the apartment that I was renting. Saranda is a beach town on the southern coast of Albania.  If I had to compare it to somewhere in the US, it is similar to Myrtle Beach. ...

Santorini

I got a ride to the port from the hotel to catch my ferry to Santorini, where I will be spending 3 nights. The ferry boat was huge and there were a lot of passengers getting on the boat in Paros.  The 3 hour ferry ride was pretty smooth and when it came time to depart for the island of Santorini, there was a very large crowd getting off the boat.  The hotel shuttle was waiting for me when I got off the boat which was very nice especially on a warm day. Santorini is a very popular island and hotels can be very expensive there, so I had to book far in advance to find an inexpensive hotel ($33/night) that was in a decent location.  The hotel is a small family owned place that is a 15 minute walk to Fira (the main town on Santorini).  It is an older place, but the room was clean and quiet with air conditioning.  I didn't come to Santorini to spend a lot of time in my room, so I didn't need a fancy expensive hotel that overlooked the water. Fira (or Thira), the n...

Skopje

It is fairly easy to get from Pristina to Skopje, Macedonia by bus.  It takes two hours and there are buses going there every few hours.  After my initial taxi ride into the city, I decided taking the city bus to the bus station was safer & a little cheaper.  The bus ride to Skopje was fairly uneventful with two quick passport checks.  I had a small issue finding my bus to the hotel, but I eventually managed to find the right bus stop. Skopje recently converted to an electronic pay system for their buses, but unfortunately it seemed impossible to find any places to buy these passes.  I ended up riding the bus for free since the driver couldn't sell me a ticket. The small hotel I stayed in for 2 nights was pretty nice & very quiet, it was a great deal at $25/night which included breakfast.  After checking in and doing research online, I found a walking tour that started at 5 pm that day. The guide was really good & was nice enough to agree t...
