Day 1 - Saturday 28th September - London-Moscow

Up to the roof to say goodbye to Fitzrovia. Then Addison Lee to Victoria and a very slow Express to Gatwick North for 14.10 easyJet to Moscow.  Touched down and through passport control and customs in a flash, way quicker than JFK for instance. Short sleeved shirts are not really sufficiently warm for late September nights in Moscow, so changed into merino for the ride to Hotel Lotte. Hungry, but it's too late and we're too tired to go out, so we snacked in the bar at quite a cost: 150ml glass of Chablis for ~£14. Pasta and burger for about ~£20 each. First night indulgences at Moscow's premier hotel - it was never going to be cheap, but it is as opulent, bling and vulgar as you might have heard.
