I start the day with the sort walk down to the Winter Palace to for a visit to the museum. The place is so famous for all the art they have on display so I figure it is time to be really civilized and cultural. I get to the counter and pay - unfortunately my Russian is pretty bad ok non-exist…

I arrived in St Petersburg on a Saturday afternoon, extremely excited and was soon whisked away in a taxi who made a formula one driver seem slow. It was exhilarating and I was immediately hit with the realisation that the city was not the dull drab grey concrete sprawl I had expected from this nat…

We had a 6:30am flight so we got up and left the hotel at 4:30am! It was the only time we had seen some real night time skies in Russia. It didn't last very long!

Me and Natascha headed out to meet Anastacia at the designated meeting place. With Anastacia with us, we d…

I had to make a special entry for this. Because St. Petersburg roofs are an essencial part of this city, something it is famous for, something like Hermitage or channels or drawbridges. A lot of movies are shot on the roofs, it is one of the most popular settings in St. Petersburg. Everyone wants t…

Monday morning blues. We have had 6 days in Saint Petersburg, and now it is time to say good bye.  Good bye to supporters from Denmark, Netherlands, Russia and Norway.  We did meet a few handboll mainjacks taking the games very seriously, and lots who just wanted to have a nice experience…

For our final stop of this journey Big Boy had to serve up his classic Americana Russian style, so it was off to lovely St Petersburg. I don’t know what his fascination is with pictures at cathedrals, maybe it’s his way of blaspheming since he can’t talk and with burger in hand it is like a s…
