Saint Petersburg

Our four day long excursion to Saint Petersburg was very educational. On the first day we went to the Hermitage. The Hermitage is a huge building filled with works of art, sculptures, and artifacts. That took most of the day to experience. After that we were all very hot and tired so we decided to follow the Hermitage up with a boat ride around Saint Petersburg.

The next day our excursion was to Peterhof which is the Summer Palace that the Czars stayed at. Some of our group went into the palace itself while some of us explored the grounds. Not only is the palace amazing but the grounds are filled with statues and fountains. If you got tired of walking around you could do what we did and relax at the small beach they had along the one side of the estate.


At the end of our trip we got on the train and made our way back to Moscow. The train ride was long but everyone found some way to entertain themselves.
