Catherine's Palace

Continuing the "his and hers" palace tour, and following yestersdays Peterhoff palace, today we ventured to the town of Pushkin (metro and bus around $2 each) to visit the gardens of Catherines summer palace.

Once again we chose a day when the palace was closed because this is typically one of the busiest places in St Petersburg with 4 hr queues not unusal. Unfortuately, this meant we also missed seeing the Amber Room, which is the highlight of Catherines palace. Also the day was really overcast and drizzly so photos are not great.
