Day 3 of the drive to Moscow. We had a slightly shorter driving day than the previous two and were able to d a little sight-seeing. Along the way we stopped at Leo Tolstoi’s residence. A rather large estate which is now open to the public. The public mainly consisted of people getting married and their friends. We arrived after the buildings had closed for the day, but still had a very nice visit strolling the grounds and seeing the grave site of Leo. Caroline’s sore toe seems to be holding up as well.
Once we arrived in Tula we headed into the city center to see the Kremlin and surrounds. Unfortunately the Kremlin was under massive renovation. It was nice to get out of the car and stretch our legs again. We had no trouble finding our hotel. Dinner was in.
