Unforgettable city
Well then, I'll start. I didn’t think that this year I would get to St. Petersburg (My wife and daughters had to go, but she got sick and had to replace her, which, of course, I didn’t regret) slightly overpriced for additional excursions). Traveling for a day (through Belarus, which struck with its cleanliness and tidiness. We passed through Gomel, and the whole group was surprised at how clean the country of the "last European dictator") is a little tiring. Stops after 3-4 hours at gas stations (you can drink something, etc. ) They broke into St. Petersburg at dawn (an hour's rest, a snack, and immediately a sightseeing tour up to 14 hours) Everything is in Kumar from moving, so the guide's information is difficult perceived. Then check-in at the LDM hotel. My daughters and I got a triple room on the 7th floor. Well, you can’t say much about the hotel, it seems to be the most economical option. Breakfast is a horror. Although clean (although there is no refrigerator in the room - it is on the floor) In the heat that was in St. Petersburg these days, it is a little annoying. But not far from the metro (Chkalovskaya and Petrogradskaya, 15-20 minutes on foot) There is a Lime chain market with relatively cheap prices. We also went to Chocolate (St. Petersburg partner Lena-tour) on some excursions (Night mystical Petersburg with bridges, the Hermitage, Isakiy, the Savior on Spilled Blood). They also bought on the spot - along the rivers and canals, the Yusupov Palace and much more. Of course, there is not enough time for everything, this is Peter, there is something to see there. In my opinion, people are friendly (they will tell you, they will help, maybe we were lucky) We ate mainly in the Nevsky district (bistros, canteens, etc. ) I especially liked the cafe Two peppers (there, at the same prices, the portions are much larger - from Isakiy is within easy reach) . We also visited Divo-Ostrov-Park with attractions, our daughters liked it. From LDM on foot about 40 minutes, we walked in the evening. We finished with Peterhof (palace and grottoes) - we liked everything very much. Then again, a long way home and a slight disappointment (from Kyiv) and very strong from Zhytomyr, when compared with St. Petersburg. Ah, I would like to come back here, well, here it’s how the card will fall, from next year we will have visas in Russia. Drive and you while you can.
