I arrived in Moscow on Monday morning, and after checking in to the hostel headed straight to the arena where I spent most of my time in the city, for the World Figure Skating Championships.
Over the next two days, I did also visit the Art Park, with a collection of former Soviet statues, and the Kremlin and Red Square with Katie, another skating fan.
