St Petersburg

---

The bus trip to St Petersburg was very comfortable with wifi and plugs for laptops if we had realised, tea & coffee and more room for HK's legs than on a plane. It was an interesting mixture of country scenes on the way with run down cottages, the typical rn down soviet apartments and little old ladies trying to sell potatoes on the side of the road.

The border crossing was uneventful, we arrived at the hotel at 10.30pm decided not to go out because we had heard you could be mugged.
