Tuesday 28th August

Still in St Petersburg, I was invited to a wedding, Olga's lovely cousin
it was a very special day, held in a hotel restaurant, it wasn't a traditional Russian wedding as \i would have imagined, but still it was stunning with views over the city.



Mopnday 27th August

How the time has passed as I write this post nearly three weeks after the event and in the last days of my trip to Russia. SO many memories and experiences, that is why i need to write and record the Blog.
It is easy to forget all of the things I have seen and experiences during this amazing trip to Russia.
SO Monday 27th August, what happened?
I was still in Saint Petersburg of course and we visited another island in the city. this time to visit the Modern Art museum,

A disturbing painting of the Russian ROyal family and a totally bonkers sculpture from Salvador Dali

Sunday 26th August- The flea market

There's something about a market that always draws me to it.
I am sure that as I grew up with Jumble sales almost available every week, this idea of rummaging around for a bargain has always appealed to me.

So you can imagine my delight when I found in the Lonely Planet Guide to St Petersburg a Flea market with Soviet memorabilia!
