Saint Petersburg, Russia
Thursday 3 September
I want to go to the hermitage museum today. It's a free day (1st Thursday of each month) so we need to get there early to get in line. It's open about 10:30. We take the bus (only 60c) get there about 9:50 and line is already long. It's about 11am by the time we are inside.
It's cold waiting in line. Apparently they only have 35 clear sunny days a year and lots of rain. It's really exquisite inside. Even see some Leonardo de Vinci pain...
