Now it's toooo hot - 90! After an hour getting through customs we started our 2 day tour with 3 other couples (two American, one Liverpudlian) on an SPb mini bus tour we had arranged on the Internet. A young student Alioli was our guide.
First it was Peterhof Palace gardens and fountains, then Catherine's Palace (at Pushkin) preceded by a quick photostop tour of the other main city landmarks. We had a fast food lunch of savory pancakes The sunny weather was good for the sights but very hot and tiring as we were stuck in Pushkin's carnival traffic for about an hour. Magnificent golden palaces and fountains, puts our NT heritage to shame. The very stressed young guide found it difficult to cope with a mutinous tourist group at times. We even ran across a road where a marathon was taking place to get to the Hermitage museum!!!
