roof in St.Petersburg))))

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…

In August 2005 we took the famous transsiberia (mongolia) express all the way to China starting off in Russia. After flying from Amsterdam Schiphol we started of in St Petersburg russia and stayed there for 2 days. From this city we took the nighttrain down to Moscow were we stayed 3 days. It'…

This blog should read: November, 1997. (Scanning my photos will take a while,  in the mean time, here is the blog) St. Petersburg the city was designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. This would be the last stop in my long and cold visit to Russia. Peter decided to be a little more civil i…

We took the 'Siberia' train to St. Petersburg, Russia. It was cold (-18 °C) and were going to a even colder location! Well, after a trip of 4 hours we arrived in St. Petersburg. The only thing we saw in the beginning were just garage boxes! Thousands! Apparently people couldn't park there cars by …

A rainy day! We visited Peterhof, with the famous fountains ('cascades'). We did not visit the Grand Palace, but we went inside "Monplaisir", the small palace at the Gulf of Finland wich was preferred by Peter the Great. Afterwards we went to Pushkin (Tsarskoje Selo) to visit the magni…

This is a follow on from our days in Moscow... When we rolled into St Petersburg after a fun 8 hour journey in the first class sleeper carriage of the train, our arrival in the new city was once again slightly marred by the female attendant. I had already exited the train to be greeted right there…

At 7:00 a.m., we were awake, showered, full from breakfast, and at the train station waiting for our Sibelius train to St. Petersburg, Russia.  Before departing, we stopped in to a snack shop at the train station to get some baklava, rice pies, Japanese peanuts, and raspberry sparking water fo…

We spend two days in St. Petesburg.  It was a marvelous experience.  At the port we were greeted by a nice band that played very nice music during the morning.   During the first day we visited the city went to several interesting places like the Church on the Spilled Blood…

I spent in Petersburg 5 days and I did like the city, especialy the most famous street in Russia, the 4km long Nevski Prospekt.... I don't intend to write about everything I did over there just because it could take the whole day but I did a lot of sightseeing (approx 8h a day),  there was som…

I visited Helsinki & Saint Petersburg at the end of 2008 & the beggining of 2009, which was a great fun.

Only got a few hours sleep on the train, the night not getting dark. Watched the forests and Dachas pass by. The conductress was no where to be seen, but she did turn up to sell us coffee 5 minutes to arrival time into Moscow. We were actually met by the guide at the station.She led us to the hotel…

Rond middernacht hadden hadden we een hostel gevonden, we kwamen om van de honger en we besloten even gouw een pizza te eten en dan snel naar bed. Toen we aan het eten waren kwam er een Russische meisje naar ons toe en ze begon in het Russisch tegen ons te praten. Ik kan nog niet eens goedenda…
