Getting Home

After yesterday's "4-D" bonanza (yes, I forgot to mention, the '4th Dimension' was a climber climbing up the front wall of the building during the show), we were faced with a long walk home. Around the metro station thousands of people were crammed, hemmed into a big winding snake by a human line of police recruits, most around 20 by the look of it.

One small group forced its way through with considerable difficulty, holding up a young child and shouting at people to make way for them. By the time we got closer to the entrance I don't know whether they could still have made it, since the crush was getting extreme: Babushka was beginning to worry about what would happen if someone slipped or fainted - would they be able to get out?

Eventually, after an hour or so of queuing, we were released into the metro, and were home half an hour later.
