Moscow - Rest Day

22SEP - We sure hit it right for the weather here. Spent more time at the Kremlin. Amazing all the different folks from around the world visiting.

Got the 30,000 mile service done on the bike at the local BMW dealer. The fork seals are 'seeping' from the Siberian construction zones so am having them replace as the bike is in the shop anyway. With another 7,000 miles to go before I get home I don't want to push it.

The toggle switch on cruise cobtrol failed at 29,000 miles. They don't have the part in Russia and it would take ten days to get it from Germany because of Russian Customs so will get it somewhere in Germany.

The car is an electric BMW. The other photo is the 'free' cafe at the BMW shop (cars and bikes). The staff speaks English and are friendly.

Another day of sightseeing in Moscow tomorrow then on Wednesday we head for St. Petersburg. Will get there on Thursday. Sara comes in on Friday by train from Helsinki. She overnights there after flying in from Reno.
