moscow
okay so with the whole monet vandalsim at the d'orsay in paris (see my thread) has revived my dream to make the trek to moscow and see my favorite monet painting which is at the pushkin. with the change of my leave dates from spring to mid-summer I will have to shit-can my trip to the galapagos/ecuador (the place I had reservations at is booked then), so I have been looking for somewhere else to go. I hear it's pretty expensive to go to, which makes the timing perfect as this may be the only time in my life for awhile that I have a good amount of money saved...
a few questions before I get too excited. if I go I will probably spend like 8-10 days in russia. how accessible is st. petersburg from moscow? I'd like to do both if time allows it. just how expensive are we talking about? I am pretty thrifty and good at cuting corners (just because I will have the money to go doesn't mean I want to blow all my deployment money on travel).
what are some things I MUST see at either? how is mass transit? any comments/suggestions?
it will be beginning of july/mid july when I go which I know is peak... is it completely overrun with people at that time?? I hear it rains in the summer a lot.
anyhoo, yeah. any comments/suggestions would be appreciated
