Moscow Metro and Arbat Street

Today, we took a tour of the Moscow Metro. The subway stations in Moscow are very decorative and ornate. We got on the subway at Ploshchad Revolyutsii and headed 3 stops to the Kievskaya Subway Station. From there, we went back one stop to Smolenskaya.

Smolenskaya is near Arbat Street which is where we did a little shopping. Amongst other things, here I was able to purchase a SIM card for 500 rubles so that I could send SMS messages back to the U.S.

On the way back to the ship, we stopped by a grocery store where we bought soda and chocolate. There was black caviar behind a locked refrigerated case.

After lunch, we took a courtesy bus back into the city center to look around some more.
