just a side note ... to bypass getting a visa to enter Russia we had to do excursions through our cruise. We usually do not do excursions because we like the freedom we have otherwise, especially when it comes to taking pictures. I am so sad that we weren't able to explore more and get the perfect shot. If you google these sights you can find some amazing pictures, I highly suggest doing so in order to get a better feel of what it is suppose to look like, especially St. Isaac's Cathedral.
Church of the Savior on Blood
(also known as the Church of Spilt Blood)
Walking down this little canal you turn around and you see this amazing church
St Isaac's Cathedral
This was the best we could get of the outside of the Cathedral ... and it is taken from the inside of our bus. I so wish we could have run across the street and gotten something better ...
Inside St. Isaac's Cathedral
Peterhof Palace
(just outside St. Petersburg, Russia)
Above and Below are pictures of the grounds right before we entered the palace. We couldn't take any pictures inside the palace but it was seriously impressive!
The next 20 pictures or so are of the outside of the Peterhof Palace in the back. It is beautiful!
I just HAD to include this last picture. There are SO MANY booths trying to sell you souvenirs, it is just a bit over the top and oh so funny!
