128:A Radisson boat trip down the Moscow river

Not just any  old boat trip down the Moscow river - this was a Radisson state-of-the-art ice-breaking boat that sails up and down the Moscow river 365 days a year. It's ice-breaking abilities weren't needed yesterday as there was not much ice left on the river, just some very thin sheets here and there.
The literature refers to the boats as yachts, which I think is perhaps a bit OTT (over-the-top). 
Here are some photos of the boat and some views of the world outside as we sedately sailed by. All in all an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours. Dinner was nice too. It was obvious the waiting staff had been trained to a high standard. 




St Basils cathedral
Kremlin cathedrals
Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
Tsereteli's controversial statue 
of Peter the Great
The parliament of the Russian Federation (the White House)
Nearly time to go home

The old British embassy 
how grand and elegant
The new British embassy 
- how "modern" (and ugly)
How would you like to live here?
The ancient mariner?
