Now that we've seen most of the things that we wanted to see here, we've just been wandering up and down the streets and canals, in and out of shops and just relaxing, (my 2 companions like the relaxing part).
We tried to see the cruiser Aurora today, which is a cruiser that served in the Russo-Japan war in 1903 and it was also place where a shot was fired in 1917 to signal the attack on the Winter Palace at the start of the Russian Revolution. It's now a museum ship, but it must be under maintenance, because it wasn't there. (There was a notice in Russian, but that wasn't much help), so we just kept walking.
Some of the sights we saw were:
The Marble Palace
The Admiralty
St isaac's Church
The Bronze Horseman Statue
And lots of fantastic buildings and views that we have no idea what they are, but they look good.
One more day of wandering around here and then it's off to Stockholm. (I even went shopping down the Main Street by myself for an hour here today. Maybe tomorrow, I can find some better shops.)
