Although I am still depressed, there was a piece of good news today. My leave is approved! Yeah! So I will be away from June 27th to July 11th. A total of fifteen days. Which means the Russian trip is confirmed. We need fifteen people to make the trip, and now we are only short of two or three more, so most likely we shall be able to go. The flight will leave on the night of June 26th, stopover at Colombo and Dubai before finally reaching Moscow. Then we will leave Moscow on July 4th, direct to Malta, and leave Malta on July 10th via Rome and reach back here on July 11th.
Anyway, here is the proposed itinerary for the trip :
Day 1 - Arrive in Moscow. Free to explore the city. Dinner.
Day 2 - Kremlin Wall and Cathedrals of Assumption, Annunciation and Archangel. Church of Deposition of the Robe. Belfry of Ivan the Great. Patriarch's Palace. City tour of Moscow. Red Square. St Basil's Cathedral. Historical Museum and GUM Department Store.
Day 3 - Novgorod via Kiln. Short stop at Tchaikovsky House-Museum. Lunch.
Day 4 - City tour of Novgorod. Kremlin. St Sophia's Cathedral. Journey to St Petersburg, the "Venice of the North". Drive along the Neva river to visit the Aurora and St Issac Cathedral (world's fourth largest cathedral). Flea market (if time permits).
Day 5 - Petrodvorets Summer Palace. Winter Palace. Palace Square. The Peter and Paul Fortress. The Admiralty. The Nevsky Prospekt. Dinner and Russian Ballet. Transfer to overnight train back to Moscow.
Day 6 - Moscow Metro Station. Arbat Street. Moscow Circus Performance.
Day 7 - Trinity-St Sergius Monastery. Cathedral of Holy Trinity. Church of Holy Spirit. Cathedral of Dormition.
Day 8 - Flight to Malta. Family gathering and settling in.
Day 9 - Family gathering. Wedding Preparations.
Day 10 - Wedding Ceremony.
Days 11 to 13 - Tour of Malta. Family gathering.
Days 14 to 15 - Flight back home.
I cannot wait for the trip to come! It will be a good way for me to set my mind at peace, and maybe start over on a clean slate.
