Yesterday I saw a side of Piter that I haven't seen before - Leningrad. We did a walking tour with Peter's (an alternative tour guide style, it involves using public transport and walking alot), who was excellent. During WWII (or as the Russian's call it, the Great Patriotic War), 28 million Ru…

The Kamchatka Peninsula lies in the north-east of the Russian Far East and is washed by the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea. It is famous for its beautiful nature - Volcanoes of Kamchatka are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and many people also dream to see the Valley of Geysers - the second larges…

Gut geschlafen habe ich, am Morgen des 5. wurde ich wieder zum Essen eingeladen. War gut, bis auf eine schimmlige Apfeltasche. An jedem Bahnhof ist etwa 20 min Aufenthalt, auch Wasser wird überall nachgetankt. Die Müllsaecke werden an jedem Bahnhof an Müllsammler uebergeben, die sie durchwühlen…

they might be a big blurry and immature, but the city looks too nice not to take a picture or two

I always had plans to visit Russia, don't ask me why! Russia is a country full with history and culture so a good uppertunity to explore it. So my dad and i bought 2 tickets from Amsterdam to Moscow and our adventure started at june 1 2007!   After a good flight we landed in Domodedovo, a …

That afternoon, following the obligatory safety drill, we began the "at sea" (or "at river" as the case may be here) portion of the cruise.

We are going to the Peter and Paul Fortress which is here the lowdown" The Peter and Paul Fortress is the original ci…

my view of St.-Peterburg

When I was a child, I often visited this town because my granny has a country house there, but I didn't pay an attention on how amazing this place is. These weekends I opened it to me once again! Tarusa is situated in 130 km from Moscow, but has absolutely another landscape. It is standing on two …

I am writing this blog to save potential Russian travelers some of the headaches that I suffered from before and during my trip to Moscow/Russia. I’m usually a very organized person, but for some reason it managed to escape my attention that you need a visa to go to Russia. And not only that: you…

We woke up around 9am as we were demolished! This time was much easier to get to the subway, as we already knew how to get there and how to move around. On our way to the stop we went in a Holliday Inn to book a taxi for next day at 5am as our flight was at 7.25am. That is your best bet, as the met…

My last day in St. Petersburg happens to be a day that clearly reminds me of why I LOVE traveling so much. Every single thing you do in an unknown country is unknown. There is no such thing as "boring" or "mundane." Finding your way, taking a bus, ordering food, even crossing the street, can b…

Novodevichy Convent, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a lovely place to explore when you need to balance your interest of history with a bit of nature.  The convent, built in the 16th century, rests along the banks of the River Moscow, within fortified walls that once served as part of Mos…
