Travel | 6. Achievement unlocked: Find the hostel in Moscow

Moscow, Russia

So, I arrived here in Moscow around 8 am. Of course, I had forgotten my hat to the restaurant car, so that was the first thing I had to find in Moscow ;).

I want to remember this feeling. I have no maps, can’t read or speak Russian, have no Idea where my hostel is and I feel freer than ever before in my life.

I had 4 hours to kill before I could check in my hostel so I decided to get lost just a little bit. Tracked my walk with Everytrail too! (eats battery like hell, so probably not using it a lot from now on). First thing was to find my way to a cafeteria, as I was starving. The next was to get myself in the heart of Moscow and find internet so I can check on my hostel.

Here you can see how I finally made it to the hostel.

Btw, the hostel is just awesome and nicest service too. It’s near Sukharevskaya subway station btw.

Resting up for tonight now.

Went out to find some Russian food and vodka for my first night. Followed the recommendation of Vasili from the hostel, found out this place was very comfy and rather cheap for Moscow.

Great food, cheap beer, good times!

My two vices.
