Hi and welcome to our blog. Hope you enjoy it. The plan is to update it regularly with what we're up to so feel free to pop in at anytime for a read. Hopefully we'll keep it interesting and we'll keep the 'saw a church it was good' writing to a minimum.
Anyway onwards...
We've successfully made it to St Petersburg and it is stunning - not the communist backwater we we're perhaps expecting. It has in fact been described by many (including Peter the Great - not me the other one) as a 'Northern Venice' and we can see why - a surprising number of canals.
The Russians wouldn't be high contenders in a world beauty contest, nor would they score highly in a global cook off. The two, we're sure, are directly interlinked. No fruit and veg = pasty and unhealthy looking people!
We're fitting in nicely though, especially with our out-of-date ski 80s ski jackets. It is cold cold cold. Gloves, hats and scarves. You name it.
We're off to Moscow tonight (the big train journey begins) where upon we'll meet out 18-30s tour group. Cannot wait! Please don't let there be any snorers.
No time to upload photos now - the Russian keyboard was challenge enough for entry one thank you - but will do shortly. Lots of love Pete and Polly x
