After the torture on the border (will explain it later in my Russia page), we arrived St. Petersburg seven hours later then expected. It was already 10 pm and we couldn't use this day for sightseeing anymore.
The next moring we woke up quite early. After a rich breakfast we started our sightseeing tour. In that moment we left the hotel it started raining and it had not stopped the whole day. After the extreme 16-hours-long sightseeing tour we went back to the hotel; tired and wet we dropped in our beds. The next morning we packed our luggage in the car and walked around in order to buy souvenirs. In the early afternoon we had to leave St. Petersburg. It has been a great but short stay and I'd like to revisit this beautiful metropolis on the Neva.

Halloechen Christian. Super Seite hier mit toller Info und Photos :-) Those potholes indeed look impressive! I really enjoyed reading your page, very informative. Greetings from the desert / Jess in Dubai
Lots of Churches and Cathedrals: must have been heaven for you!! Fantastic page!!!
Hello. Great travel page! Very interesting tips and photos! Greetings from Poland!
WOW . . . great pics . . . it seems St. Peterburg is really "Venice of the North". . .Thanks for all the tips . . .
I agree with you Christian about those bears--they are only cubs too! Very sad for them to be used in such a way!!
Looks like a wonderful city...always have been curious about it. Maybe if I promise to wash all those windows in the Winter Palace they will let me come to visit???? ha ha ha
Hi Leipzig! Great pages, packed with information. I had funny experiences with the border in Russia too, or the fact that there wasn`t one! But I guess it wouldn`t be Russia without a problem like that!
Great page!!! I hope to visit this place some day... :))) Cheers
Super page. It brings back many memories for me.
Grreat informative webpage! Best wishes!
