Once upon a time .. east in the: be exact Nizhny Novgorod. The crafty Andreas has again booked geruxx.de (see
Cheap flights to Moscow
) the cheapest flights to get from Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow and Vienna to Munich. Clock in the morning to five in Nizhny is still all right. His dearest, because Russian friend has a taxi for 500 rubles to the airport of Nizhny ordered. On time they leave the house and he. Of course the taxi is not there! Including, so simple it does not make the Russians. Telephone inquiries are unsuccessful, so they swarm out and his brave girlfriend finds the taxi actually about 5 minutes walk away calmly stand at a fairly wrong address. Well, I created but still my flight. Arrived at the airport a little Maleur. The taxi driver would like to once 750 rubles instead of the outstanding 500th I have but only 600 rubles. And the time will come to the aircraft just as the taxi took longer than expected. Fortunately it is possible the very best friend the taxi driver from the poverty of his passengers about to testify and is content with 600 rubles. Okay, I need rubles before any more, it finally goes home to Germany and I am anyway at airports en route. Gepaeckaufgabe and check-in runs everything as usual, until the beloved one looks at the boarding pass in flight: Because is ВНУКОВО (Vnukovo). "How, what, why?" I thought your flight to Munich Domodedovo? " Yes, hinwaerts that was the case! But apparently not backward. Apparently the wily Andreas has looked closely at cheap book about geruxx not as accurate. What now? Ok, between arrival and departure to Moscow to Munich are more than five hours. Will I make it from Sheremetyevo to Domodedovo across Moscow without a ruble in his pocket and with only rudimentary knowledge of Russian language? The whole love is contrary to will, for 6000 rubles another flight booking, but where now get by 6 clock morning the money? From the taxi driver, perhaps? So all I had nothing else and I have to try it. The whole love promises immediately by bus from the airport to go home, the Internet (Analogmodem!) nachzuschauen everything and me to teach via SMS. arrival at Kiev's train station to use the old trick: Just follow the crowd and indeed it leads me directly to the Metro station
- I fly, meanwhile, with the internationally known U7 flight to Moscow and there to come without problems. There, however, it is said to be more concentrated: Since the Vnukovo airport for domestic flights is used almost exclusively, there is no switch to the money exchange. In the last corner of the place but yet a clever Andreas automatic money exchange promises But only € rubles! But wait we are focused! Through careful study of the Cyrillic menus but I manage to find an option, which allows me to maybe € exchange in rubles. So quick to give a 10 euro bill into the machine and hope for the best! Sorry, too early happy. The machine accepts the 10 Euro not start, no smoothing, no snap, no swearing helps. Ok, then the Emergency Reserve: The final 20 euro note! Hurrah, it works and I'm back rubles in abundance. The dearest has already been researched and written in the SMS I should look for signs Злектропоезд. Of course, the Vnukovo airport just a single site and signs is scarce. Polite are requesting the information desk one stuttered "left" as a further hint. I go to "left" to the output, but the course is due to the construction site just shut off. So back to the beginning, this time to the right and outside of the building to the left and then finally as big as they used pictures of Stalin: Злектропоезд! So just follow the signs, and remove the Cyrillic ticket descriptions that I get to the Aero Express for 250 rubles from Vnukovo to
- Kievskaya
- . Here I stand in line at the ticket office at (ticket machines do not exist in the Moscow Metro would be, too trivial), lie down for 22 rubles and get a ticket. Then follow the crowd in the depth to the brown ring line to get
- direction Paweletzkaja . But the mass has a different opinion and leads me somewhere, but not to the ring line. So back against the current, somewhere must have an exit. Yes, there is one, but no sign. Okay, it seems to be the only option and in fact: After a hundred meters back signs point to the circle line. Funny, why Russia signs are only in places where they are not in use? So, enter the subway, which is well built specifically so loud, so that the working class can not sleep. Then after a half hour to 4 stops windchill finally the announcement "станце Павелецкая" or something. So get out, follow the crowd to light up. The friend wrote, I have to see the Pawelezer
- Station of the Metro station (why never connected in Moscow metro station and associated are archaeologists will surprise even in 1000 years.). Of course, I do not see him! indeed only 90 meters wide this station! But he is not there. I follow the crowd, it splits into left and right. I opt for the left, because I have made good experience. The amount which I will always follow, and no less 90-meter wide station in sight. So back to the metro station, this time to right. Oh, there's a map. According to city map train station is right outside the station only served in between. But actually, no trace of a field where I am? Ok, I have to ask someone in Russian, it has no other choice. So I'm looking for someone, and suddenly the enlightenment! The station is behind the huge construction site with 10 meter high billboards before. If you go 200 meters from the metro station to the right he can be at 100 meters skew see behind the posters. In between, however, a huge street and the building site. How do people come from the metro station to station? Taxi, bus? Back to the Metro Station: aha, there is a small underpass, with signs, inform me about it that I can trade down there at a good price rubles. But where does the underpass? It helps nothing, I've already lost too much time, I go to the underpass, let me not stop signs and police officers, go to the end, do not exchange rubles and I'm finally in front of the huge station. My whole love writing, I will go to input 3. Fortunately, because there are 5 inputs, leading to natural completely separate parts of the station. Love is simply the best. So purely in input 3 and there is again a sign for Aero Express for 250 rubles. I Waehner almost back in civilization. So buy a ticket to catch the train, the next does not arrive for an hour, then close with the aircraft. Ticket not throw away! writes her friend and we still all good. After 3.5 hours I actually got it from Sheremetyevo to Domodedovo made by public transport. What comes next seems to me like a no brainer: Flight to Vienna, problems with the connecting flight as boarding pass in Moscow only to Vienna and Munich to . Get But the Austrians have probably had enough of my travel history, and then let me enter it yet. Arrived in Munich just go again with the train, then 10 minutes walking and already I'm home. I think short taxi, plane, train, subway, train, airplane, airplane, train, something is still missing! So put on a bike and go shopping with a large rucksack on his back next to the supermarket down, funny enough I was in fact quite hungry.
