The Laguna is one these bateaux-mouches (fly boats) similar to those that navigate La Seine in Paris. The crew had to wait for the Travel O Ganza group for more than an hour because of (1) heavy traffic, (2) the bus driver got into a fender bender, with private car.

 

During the World Cup, the streets of Moscow, are transformed into a large parking lot, with no end in sight.   The metro is a perfect alternative, since it is free for World Cup tourists.  But the metro does not reach everywhere.  The presence of the Argentine stars, ahead of their game against Croatia, added insult to injury.

 

The boat crew received the group with a fanfare of civility, and some refreshment.  Each traveler was promptly wired with a short-wave radio, The tour lasted 90 minutes, half of its regular duration. The boat traveled up and down the Moscow River.  After presenting a brief history of the capital city, the guide illustrated her stories with the sight of some important architectural and artistic landmarks.

 

Among many, one would remember:

  • The Moscow City Complex
  • The Exhibition Center
  • Arbat Street
  • Moscow University
  • Hotel Ukraine
  • Radisson Royal
  • Slavonac
  • Entertainment Center
  • Sparrow Hill

We had lunch at Craft Kitchen in the “Berlin” atrium on the second floor of “Evropeisky” shopping mall.

While the staff seemed to be overwhelmed by the group, the travelers enjoyed the epic draw between Denmark and Australia (1-1)

 

Later, at the hotel, the Palmira Business Club, the game between France and Peru (1-0) offered a delightful entertainment.

 

Dinner time was spent on Red Square.  The crowd was fabulous. But the massacre of the Argentinians by their Croatian homologues (3-0) sent many home that night in quite a depressive mood…

 

From the Palmira Business Club, this is the Traveller, reporting from Moscow, capital of the former Soviet Union…
