Hotel said they had to move us to another room this morning so we were a bit worried. Turned out to be an upgrade to a much bigger and nicer room. Bonus!!
Did I mention we like metro stations 
. If you're following the blogs you know we love them. Here is our station Admiralteyskaya. It's the deepest metro in the world and takes forever to go down the super fast escaltor.
Another perfect day. Warm and clear blue skies. Good for photos. Decided to catch some sights around St Petersberg - Winter Palace, Kazan Church, Saviour on Spilled Blood, St Peter & Paul Fortress.
It was warm for us, must have been hot for the locals...
Returned to our favourite Georgian restaurant for dinner ($15 for two inc drink).
A warm and sunny 
4 star day.

The Metro is beautiful. Somehow I always think of Russia in the winter. Of course they have summer . . . so nice to see it.
