Moscow - Marvels and Miracles II

On our first full day, we visited the Kremlin with our guide Katya.  This was my record for most cathedrals in the shortest time - the Cathedral of the Assumption, the Cathedral of the Annunciation and the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael.  We also saw the Bell-Tower of Ivan the Great, the Tsar Bell and the Tsar Cannon.  The last, a 40-tonne monster, was never used in battle (who could lift a ball into it?) but came in handy to fire the ashes of the 'False Dmitri' (who pretended to be the dead son of Ivan the Terrible) back in the direction of Poland, whence he came.  The Kremlin gardens were a delight; the fleet of black official cars - engines running - rather more sinister.
