First day in St Petersburg


After another pleasant night on a Russian train we arrived to St Petersburg where we immediately were taken off to sight-seeing. At first we went to the famous Peter & Paul Fortress and paid a visit to the tsars of past times, admired the spire and got familiar with the St Petersburg weather. A little later we were shown a monument where previous Swedish visitors (invaders) have left an impression in the shape of a snake under the hoof of Peter the Great´s horse.

The sight-seeing was concluded by us being impressed by the lavish St Isaac´s Cathedral and its fantastic mosaics.

After this introduction to St Petersburg we were ready to make a presentation of ourselves and Sweden at the Rotary Club "White Nights". The food and company were memorable.

Best Regards

Charlotte
