Today we had a packed day in St Petersburg, with it being extremely foggy and snowing in the morning.
We began our day at the Political History of Russia museum, where we learnt all about the Bolshevik takeover, and got to see Lenin's desk, where Esther/Mrs Harris may have broken parts of the room (as well as Mrs Harris breaking the hotel lift). We also got to visit Peter I's log cabin, where he lived whilst he built the city.
We then got to spend lunch on the Nevsky Prospekt, where many went and bought CKA ice hockey jerseys, and ate at the Stolle bakery. The cheesecake pie was incredible!
After the long lunch, we went to the Yusupov Palace, where Rasputin was murdered. The rooms were stunning, and decor was beautiful, as the family who owned it were richer than the Tsar family.
With much excitement we went for dinner at the Nikolaevsky Palace, where we had a lovely four course meal, accompanied by a pianist. We then got to go to the Folklore show, and watch traditional cossack dancing, we wanted Harry Ruffles to go up on stage, yet sadly he wasn't picked.
Once the show ended, we went back to the hotel and just had some free time.
See you soon
Daisy :)
