A stroll in Park Kultury

 

A sunny Sunday, a bit cold, but just fine for a stroll in Park Kultury. 3 stations down on the red metro line a walk across the bridge and we are there.



Last time we was there it was middle October and preparation for the winter had started. At that time we could understand that ice skating in the park was not an ice rink, but something different than what we are used to.

 

My skates are in storage in Norway so a good excuse not to skate, however my wife she have a goal to get me out there before we leave Moscow. I guess it will be earlier than later.

 

It is amazing how they build walk way for those who not skate and let the skaters use the ordinary walk way in the park, or at least some of it.

 

If you need a coffee break or have the habit need a cigarette, yes there are signs where you can stop and enjoy both.

 



Skaters, either they are professionals, or new beginners you find them here, as mentioned there are space for all.

 

Even a special place for those who like to train some snowboard, you get amazed how the local authority create possibilities in this city.

 

Minus 10 do not disturb the families for a stroll on ice skates in Park Kultury and it is fun to watch and a warm Hot Dog is not too far away.

 

On our walk home we took a new route and as soon you are into a new street you discovered interesting things. At times it can be hard to know what inside a building, so challenge yourself and just be curious as we are. We ended up in a large toy store, with some additional Christmas decoration and a large department for children’s clothes. For us with 12 grandchildren knew it would be a place to visit before next Christmas.

 

Ok it will not be a beauty of a car priced at $ 100.000 USD or a doll house at $ 15.000 USD, we are more modest than that. All in all it was an impressive store and fun to watch.

 

And as we walked a different route we crossed the river on a different place on the other side of the Kremlin. Another beauty of this city, you walk and walk day after day and there is always something new to see. Just walk on the other side of the street give you a new impression. We love these Sundays and look forward to more of them in 2014.
