Another hugely busy day. We walked nearly 12000 steps today. Weather quite humid, but quite good for sight seeing. We are just now home at midnight after a night tour of the sights. We even went on two subways to see the amazingly beautiful stations. No ads, but one station had painted frescos of the workers and the other was modern with marble in two colours. We went to an art gallery this afternoon and had lunch at a Ukrainian restaurant. Meals have been very good. We leave the hotel tomorrow and that will be another day of sightseeing and then head to the train station for 4:45. We were well guarded tonight with three guides and Roland the Wells Gray president. They are looking after us well. My walking sticks most helpful.
One subway station was 73 meters below ground so the escalator going up took several minutes. Apparently the speed of the escalators vary depending on the time of day. There are officially 12 million inhabitants but unofficially 20 million.
Joyce and I both tuckered out! Feet and legs swollen. Hope the train will be more restful.
