We made our way to Nevsky Prospect, the main street in St Petersburg and set about seeing some sights, we planned to go on a (now obligatory in every city) boat tour but typically they had cancelled the 5 o clock boat and told us to come back at 7. So we had a walk around the canals and discovered that the Russians are very keen on public displays of affection, some of them far too explicit to include in this blog!

This hot weather weather has brought out all the Bright Young Things (BYT's) ...
