72 Hours in St Petersburg: Part II

Our second day in St Petersburg was a gloriously sun drenched one, and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Being great little tourists we embarked on a free tour, led by the loveliest girl, and it was absolutely worth every minute of it.  Details of the tour can be found here.  Having visited The Hermitage the day before, we embarked on a veritable feast of sights today including one of my favourites - the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood, as well as the Palace Square, Peter and Paul Fortress, and the Nevsky Prospect just to name a few.  The list is endless and there are hundreds of things to see in St Petes.

So without further ado here are the photos!






Above is our lovely tour guide! And below follow six photos of the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood, I went a bit snap happy because it was one of the most incredible churches I've ever seen hands down.


















And below I'll leave you with the entrance to our lovely hostel (details here). Looking very Soviet, and not exactly welcoming. I for one accidentally walked past this door on several occasions whilst trying to make it home.

The Cornish South Coast, Cornwall Day 5

Our fifth day in Cornwall saw us drive along the south coast, and explore all the bays and beaches there.  Along the way we scouted out the small village of Trewennack (Chewy's last name), and I capture this beauty of a photo!

Rather than ramble on, I'll let the photos do the talking in today's post.  Enjoy!




Anyone for a giant, face-sized pasty?







Call me immature, but I thought this sign was hilarious.
