russian trip - st petersburg 11th apr

woke up and had buffet breakfast. then we went up to pack our bags and went to the lobby. bought stamps and posted our postcards. deposited our bags at the hotel and met the guys at the hermitage. there was a looooooooong queue outside and we finally managed to go in and deposit our coats and walked around. the place is so so so beautiful. and there are more than 300 rooms u wonder how the hell did the royalty know their way around and not get lost and if even half of all those rooms were used at all.

back to our hotel.


the bus ride was nice at the start..it brought us around the city to sightsee at night..it was really really beautiful. i can't help but think that this place is prettier at night than in the day. then it came to the train station to pick the rest of the people up at 2am. and then we set out on our way to tallinn, estonia. christien couldn't sleep and she ate like 2 of jo's sleeping pills when normally u take 1. so she ended up being damn groggy. and the bus stopped at like 4am for border control. the whole bus was stopped and checked for like half an hour before everyone had to alight and carry our luggage into the building to scan through and to stamp our passports one by one personally. christien got up and her face immediately paled. and she couldnt walk properly. she eventually vomited in the toilet and got a little better but was still super weak and groggy. we finally went up the bus at like almost 6am and continued our journey into estonia. christien just slept throughout and my passport was stamped by the estonian authorities. my whole body and neck was aching cos there was so little space inside the stupid bus and i couldn't move or sit properly.
