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.

Paros

I received a ride from the hotel down to the port to catch the early afternoon catamaran to Paros.  The catamaran arrived 30 minutes late, but the 45 minute trip to Paros was smooth since the seas were calm that day.  I was picked by the hotel at the port in Paros.  The hotel is a small family run place just outside the town of Parika.  My room was fairly large & had a nice view of the sea, it is a good deal at just over $30 per night for a 3 night stay. Paros has plenty of tourists that visit the island, but it has a more relaxed atmosphere compared to Mykonos and Santorini which always have multiple cruise ships docked nearby.  I had a nice dinner my first night in town and found a good place for gelato afterwards.  The next day, I spent a half day at a nearby beach & then took a local bus to a town called Naoussa.  Naoussa was an interesting place to visit for a few hours, but there was not a whole lot to see there. I visited a differen...

Flying Home

Image
Even though I enjoyed my 2 month long trip, I was definitely ready to come back home and be in one place for awhile.  I managed to get about 5 hours of sleep before I had to pack up my things to catch the hotel shuttle to the airport.  I was through the airline check-in, immigration, and security in just 25 minutes, so I had 1.5 hours to kill before they started boarding my 11 hour flight from Athens to Philadelphia.  I had an aisle seat on the 2 seat section of the plane, so it was somewhat comfortable for the long flight.  However, there seems to be a requirement that at least one crying baby has to be on these long flights and that the person in front of you must see how far back they can recline their seat even if they are only 5 feet tall!! The food was decent on the flight and I managed to watch 3 movies that were all pretty good.  The flight arrived on time and eventually I cleared immigration and security to wait for my 2 hour flight to Charlesto...

Budapest

Although I enjoyed the opportunity to visit Russia again, I was glad to leave the bad weather behind for warm & sunny Budapest.  The flight on Wizzair was great.  I had a whole row to myself near the front of the plane.  The guy in immigration in Budapest seemed excited that I was born in Ohio & even showed my passport to another official mentioning Ohio twice.  I quickly picked up a transit pass & headed into town.  It is nice to visit new places, but I really enjoyed coming back to Budapest for my third visit. I realized after my first long trip to Europe that I needed to take a break from going to a new city every 2-5 days & find a place to stay in the middle of my trip for 10-12 days to relax.  I stayed in Budapest for 11 days, spending 5 days at an Airbnb apartment & 6 days at the Park Inn (free nights using points).  I tried to get in some running every day, but overdid a little bit & my legs were sore for a few days. ...
