The Louvre is for wimps!
... in the latter, while those that would Banya were further divided into two more groups, those that would Banya first and those that would follow. I was in the larger first group.
It's safe to say it was an unusual experience. At first, we each made our way the 70 or so metres from the hotel to what appeared little more than a small wooden hut. The first order of business was to strip down to the bare essentials and in that 2 x 3 metre room, all thoughts ...

Opsamling på Skt. Petersborg
... med fuld

Vi fandt hotellet, fik vores værelse og et MEGET tiltrængt
