Yep - we went to Russia! After arriving in the St. Petersburg port we began an interesting panoramic bus tour of this important Russian town passing by its main highlights (including some information about the siege of Leningrad). We made several stops, but it's just not possible to see everything - it's Russia's second largest city and were both surprised to see how much water it has. We saw the famous Hermitage gallery, the Holy Trinity Bridge to Peter and Paul Fortress, stopped at the Spilled Blood Cathedral and drove along the famous Nevsky Prospective to St. Isaac Cathedral too. A typical Russian lunch was served (complete with vodka) before heading to Petrodvorets, considered one of the loveliest tzars’ summer residences with its wide park, rich in fountains and gardens. It was a terrific visit AND we had beautiful weather...again =) We were able to resist the temptation to buy tons of souvenirs like: nesting dolls and Fabergé eggs, but we took lots of photos to make up for it!
