I was well and truly sick by now. Thankfully it was a long day on the bus to St Petersburg Russia and because everyone felt sorry for me, I was given my own 2 seat on the bus so I could pass the time in a fever-induced sleep!
Our guide had warned us about how difficult Russia could be to travel in, so he had to double check all of our visas and we had to get off the bus a couple of times so they could check the bus (just what I felt like!)
On arrival at our hotel, it took forever to check in. Tonight, we had booked tickets to the Russian dancing. This was absolutely fantastic even though we did not get any dinner. Nor did I feel like the free vodka!
Our next full day in Russia was exploring some amazing sights of beauty with Russian communism. The Hermitage museum was incredible! The meal on the river cruise was the worst meal ever!
Our final nights dinner was at the hotel and our final morning was more sightseeing before we began our journey to Finland.
