Hi Everyone. We've been very busy since arriving in St Petersburg, so no time for blogging. We toured all day, then came back to the ship for 1.5 hours and off to the ballet. The weather was perfect, sunny and about 20 Celsius. Apparently St Peterburg gets 60 days of sun a year... yikes and the weather can change quickly so we were very fortunate with the great weather. Tomorrow is suppose to be more typical and we were told to bring an umbrella. It takes a while to get on and off the ship as we must go through security and very site we mustass through metal detectors. St Petersburg is a beautiful city with amazing sites and extraordinary history. They are preparing for the 2018 FIFA World Cup so lots of construction in the city.
