Saint Petersburg


Hi All,



First real blog on where we are and what we are up to.

So we flew out this morning at 9am after staying in the worst hotel location ever, planes going over us that were shaking the bed it was that close, still they stopped at midnight!!!

The flight was good only three hours with BA, not free booze so was very disappointed!!! lol

When arriving in Russia we ended up getting a random bus (not the ones on the paperwork) into Moskovskaya then met an English couple who were as lost as we were. But together we managed to find the metro station together. They are doing the vodka train like us but different dates. Once on the metro we got to Mayakovskaya which is on the Nevsky Prospect which is the main 'main' road in Saint Petersburg.

After my amazing map skills and following instructions from Vicky, we found our hostel, the Red House Hostel. First thing we were told to do was take off our shoes which was strange, Vicky's face was a gem!!! Then once shown around (nice hostel as hostels go) we locked up our bags and went for a look around.

We found a nice coffee shop which we ended up having a nice pasta dinner.

Then we went for a look around and found the Church on spilled blood (The one in the photos). As the temperature is -1'C at the moment I was getting a lot of strange looks as i was still just wearing a t-shirt and body warmer, I felt fine first hour then it kicked in FREEZING!!!!!!!

Now we are sat in the hostel having a beer and organising tomorrows events!!! A few people in the living room and kitchen so may make some friends later....

Bye for now!!!

Love N&V X
