The way to Moscow (2)

Dear Readers (hoping that at least 2 persons are following the blog ;-)

It has been some times since I last posted some news. It’s not because I suddenly stop thinking to my trip but I was so busy celebrating my return to Switzerland that I couldn’t find one second to write. A short day in England, to get my last luggage back, convinced my that I made a good choice to leave - the weather was so typically English (10oC, strong wind and rain) compare to the lovely month of May in all the rest of Europe (averaging 25oC, sunny and nice). Walking back to the office was like wandering across a ghost town, a traumatising experience that I wish no one to experience - good lucks guys (Mark, Ilias and all the others) for the future…

Back to the trip: I’m going to leave on my birthday, 29th of May, for Budapest to spend a lovely weekend with Giuliana and visiting my very good friend Fabien who is doing an internship there. I’ll meet as well with Matthias Kahl, ex internship at RRFCS, who will join me for a full month throughout Ukraine and Russia. The first stop is Lviv in west Ukraine, city rich in History that was conquest by different empires (Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth than Austro-Hungary). After 2 days in this city we are heading east to Kiev, spending 4 days in the city, waiting for my Russian visa to start – 10th June) and then Moscow.

Talk to you soon,
Pida
