London, ahhhhhh
Yesterday we had our final day in St Pete.... the sun was shining and we took the opportunity to go on a canal cruise to see St Pete from the water, as it was intended. The wind was cold and the commentary in russian, but we had fun. We then raced back to the hotel to catch our ride to one of the world's less efficient airports... after our bags …
