We took a day off today, as we were both feeling pretty tired from all of the days of city touring. My throat and sinus sickness had gotten worse over the last few days - I think due to the cold air combined with massive amounts of cigarette smoke and car exhaust fumes in the Russian cities. It was good to just relax all day. We also got some research done for Turkey and booked a hotel for our arrival tomorrow. They're going to pick us up at the airport - nice since we are getting there at night. Hopefully they will show up :) We ventured out and used 4 of our 6 remaining Metro coupons to get to dinner and back. We found a vegetarian restaurant that serves unique dishes with Indian style flavoring. Our meals were good but we were disappointed to find the guacamole we ordered had chopped up boiled eggs mixed in. It was not an appetizing combination, because it made all of the guacamole just taste like eggs. We're looking forward to getting into Eastern Europe where we plan on going to smaller towns. Neither of us are big fans of city touring, and I feel like we've been on a city marathon ever since Hong Kong! We'll travel to Istanbul tomorrow, another city, but hopefully it has quite a different feeling.
