My trip to Saint Petersburg

A weekend out of Moscow to the Tarist capitol of Russia Saint Petersburg.

Pictures taken as a part of my trip to Saint Petersburg in july 2012

I travelled up on the Red Arrow overnight exress train. It was a comfortable and punctual journey.

Saint Petersburg was founded by peter the Great at the beginning of the 18th Century and is closely modelled on Amsterdam
