Day 47 - St. Petersberg, Russia
The second day was even more jam-packed - and I felt a tad better. At least the coughing had dissipated a little.
We began at the Hermitage. Below are a number of photos as well as shots of the art - with, in many cases, an explanation on the following photo.

The afternoon took us to Peter's Palace which certainly gave me "water feature envy". These magnificent fountains are entirely gravity fed. The bottom row displays the beautiful gardens was well as the a view to the Baltic Sea which lies beyond. Within all this grandeur Peter had the simplest of all rooms - but pictures inside were forbidden.
And here are some of our good friends from the trip.
