In the evening of my first day in St Petersburg I went on a
cruise round the Canals and onto the Neva River, they even put on a Russian Folkloric music display for us which was amazing and so great for me to see a traditional side to the culture. It is amazing to see all the
sights from the river because traffic in St Petersburg is crazy. So this was
about the only time I could get a clean shot of many of the sights, it is also
nice to see them from a different perspective. There is something wonderfully
romantic about sailing down a river seeing the sights in a sunset that lasts
forever.
It was strange because in Russia we were under the midnight
sun, as you can see in the last photo, so we didn’t really see sunset until 11pm-12pm and then it never got dark
and just starts coming back up again in the early hours of the morning. It is
an experience I am grateful to have though never one I thought I would get to
experience.
