Saturday-Finally Back

So now we are home again and almost unpacked...

In the last day and a half in St Petersburg we counter balanced all of the opulence and grandeur of the palaces and churches with a trip to the museum describing the 900 day siege of the city in the 2nd world war

 

 

 and just walking around, watching the city at work and play.

 

There were fishing boats out on the river getting good catches of herring or something similar.

And a big crowd out tidying up the local park,



 

But you are never far from the water and pomp

 

But it is now all over. A great trip, and we have enjoyed all of it and learned a lot, particularly that while cities are interesting we can only do them in small doses.

 

All that is left is to plan where we will go next.
