St. Petersburg Russia Day 11-12 (Part 2)

St. Petersburg Part 2

More Museums

We were still 25 folks on the same bus, same driver, same guide. All good. The 'gang' does a good job staying together and only two are a tad late returning after 'free time'.

The main thrust for today was a visit to Peterhoff, a palace in the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown palace or the summer palace or one of the mansions. Life must have been tough.
 Water comes from canal dug to Bay. Fountain jets up 21 meters.

View of the Peterhoff Palace. Spectacular.

 Toni got dressed up for lunch

Hydrofoil back to the ship.

We are about museum'd and palace'd out. 

Off to Helsinki! Or as Toni calls it, "Hellinski".
