Sunday May 22 St. Petersburg

Another glorious day and nothing planned for our last day in St. Petersburg. I let John sleep in and then we headed down to the hotel's bar for coffee and pastries for breakfast as we had missed the free one.

Then a quick walk to the subway station and headed back downtown to wander with no agenda.

Yikes! I HATE steep down escalators with a passion! And these are really steep!

Got off at Nevsky Prospekt and started sauntering around the area below.

We came upon the Hermitage - so different than the rainy day we had visited it with the tour group.

 

Looking towards St. Issac and the Admiralty

Subway where you can get a beer with your sub.

Great day for a boat ride

Then it was time for lunch

Looking across at the Hermitage!

Complimentary appetizer - nicely presented!

My salad of smoked salmon and strawberries!

We continued our strolling, it was such a beautiful Sunday and everyone was out enjoying the day.

A stroll through Peter and Paul Fortress - again a much nicer day than the last time

Just one more photo of this church!

Time to head back to the hotel
