    Saviour on the Spilled Blood - inside

    August 29, 2019 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Had a slightly later breakfast of cheese and tomato on toast before heading out of the door for the Saviour on the Spilled Blood church at 10am.
    We had seen the queues of 1000’s ( and the queues of no-one yesterday when it was closed!) so got there early for the 10.30am opening.
    We bought our tickets, wrestled with the tour groups that emptied off of their buses like ants ( superior ants who think they have total right of way), and managed to be one of the first ones inside this incredible church.
    The fact that it is decorated with 7500 square metres of mosaics makes it quite mind blowing.
    Half an hour later and we were done but satisfied.
