Watch out in St.Pete 's beach for petty parking tickets - such as for example tickets given to cars parked at night in empty car parks. Overall the place has deteriorated quite a bit over the last 10 years (concrete everywhere) and the old beauty of the ...

... tour bus costs 25cents that is 12.5pence to you and me and it was great you can get off and on wherever you like. Some parts of St Pete's beach are as my Mum used to say "a bit Mixed".  Pasa Grille just up at the point is very nice with a nice long ...

... is off to Helsinki and tomorrow we fly to London. ***Written on location… Nevesky Prospect*** Today was a rainy rainy day in St Pete... we intended a quiet morning, then we had lunch with the others... Now we are on Nevesky eating cake... We are ...
