We are heading off to Poland today. Our flight is at 3.25pm, we will get out to the airport by about midday as aparently it can be quite busy at St Petersburg airport.
We have been in Russia for 11 nights in total. Overall we have had a good time here but I am glad to be moving onto a new destination.
Some of the highlights were Victory Day in Moscow, the Space Museum, the Peterhof fountains, The Hermitage Museum, finally getting into Red Square for the first time, The Kremlin in Moscow, the local beers (Tinkelhoff is a favourite) & of course Mu Mu restaurant.
Our favourite place overall has to be Moscow, it has a really great vibe and is quite cosmopolitan. St Petersburg has been somewhat of a dissapointment, it shows the importance of expectation setting - my expectations of here were very high, however I was dissapointed by the lack of care in the city, the rubbish and the people who urinate in the streets! I think St Petersburg appears to be a place that is preparing for the future but it seems a long way off - I would love to get a high pressure hose and go around cleaning here, it would make such a diference!!
We arrive in Krakow this afternoon at about 5.30pm. We have an apartment booked which will be a really nice change. I am looking forward to the food in Krakow - I will keep everyone updated with some photos.
Well must head off now and prepare to go - bags are already packed, so just a few last minute things to do and we will head to the airport.
