St. Petersburg



September 9, St. Petersburg. Today we have a city tour. Its an overcast day which makes some of the buildings stand out. We visit many new sites from our last visit and we are struck by how many more tourists there are compared to our last visit.





We drive by the State Hermitage Museum, the winter palace, and the St Petersburg metro. We visit the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood and Catherine's Palace. We stop along the Neva river and the stock exchange.  It's a challenge to park, but our expert driver seems to always find a spot. We make a stop at a shopping location to satisfy the souvenir needs and it's back to the ship. We take it easy as the ship leave the Russian Federation.
