Rare Sleep7 Posted November 5, 2023 Author #110 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Back to the ship for lunch and then walked into town to explore more. The ship ran shuttles but if you can take stairs it's a few flights straight up from the dock. On the bus we had passed the beautiful and historic Hotel Moskva. I wanted to go back and see the lobby. They are famous for their Moskva Schnitte cake. Too full from lunch we didn't try it but it looked good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sleep7 Posted November 5, 2023 Author #115 Share Posted November 5, 2023 The other "entertainment" were the barges along the river that are nightclubs. Since it was Saturday night they were hopping. You could hear the loud music as we were pulling away from the dock.. club goers were having lots of fun!💃🥳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
