I t rained nonstop all day so we took a day off from sightseeing. Last night we had dinner overlooking the hotel lobby and Lyn had Beef Stroganoff and Malcolm had Chicken a la Kiev, both excellent. We will go there again tonight to celebrate our free tickets to the show, courtesy of Real Russia. Lyn wandered through the many souvenir shops off the lobby and Malcolm used the Wifi. We managed to get more smiles from the staff today; they are all very intense. The show was terrific. It is staged by the Russian National Ballet every night from June to September. There was an audience of 800 plus in the hotel theatre and lasted two hours. The costumes (500) were beautiful, the dancing was complex, energetic and absolutely synchronised. No surprise which country won the Olympic Synchronised Swimming. Serendipity that we were in this hotel and were able to see it, but nothing left to chance in this performance. It was an unforgettable night of world class entertainment. And only $20 for the DVD to relive it.
