Friday & Saturday: St. Petersburg


For our tour of the Hermitage Museum and the primary historical sights in St. Petersburg, we had a beautiful day - both snowy and sunny!


Our Friday night dinner was at a cozy Dostoevskian restaurant aptly named The Idiot.

Saturday we ventured out to Pushkin to tour Catherine the Great's summer palace and the conservatory where Pushkin studied and lived. Our dinner on Saturday night was at a delicious restaurant featuring the cuisine of the Caucauses, where much vodka was consumed by all. But we got safely back on the night train to Moscow and were happy to end up back "home" at the Moscow Holiday Inn!
