Soviet Moscow Architecture Drive

Final leg of my journey we were returning to Moscow. Originally my flight was 2am the next night but Turkish Airlines had moved it up to 8pm shortening my plans for the day.

I was supposed to return back to Moscow to do an hours biking before my flight but because we were delayed half a day from Northern Russia and my flight had been moved up it was looking doubtful. The traffic was very heavy arriving in Friday rush hour and when we called the place they said they were closed for low season anyway.

Instead we had to drive across the city from the north to get to Vnukovo Airport on the south west. This would bring us back thru the centre on the circular road.

Although this was completely unplanned we ended up having a tour of the Soviet architecture. Most notable are the 'Seven Sisters'. These are seven skyscraper tower blocks the have been copied on other Soviet capitals such as Warsaw.
