Gorky Park

Destination: Gorky Park

Saturday was my first, official excursion in the city of Moscow. The weather was beautiful.

After a few metro stations and a brisk walk, we arrived at the Park.

The Central Park of Rest and Culture is named after Maxim Gorky, and is one of the most famous places in Moscow. The first half of the park consists of formal gardens that combine the former Golitsynskiy and Neskuchniy Gardens.

The second part of the park contains many rides and roller coasters, as well as boats and horses, and a skating rink.

Group photo, from left to right: Robin, Brent, Joanne, Veronika, Shaun, Dina Alexandrovna (our professor) and myself.

And of course there is a camel. Only 350 rubles for a ride on Cranberry.
