Our last four days were filled with sightseeing in and around St. Petersburg which included Peter and Paul Fortress; Peterhof, Peter the Great’s summer residence with 150 fountains and the Hermitage with one of the largest art collections in the world. A fitting culmination of our Cruise – Tour of the Russian Waterways was an excellent performance of the ballet, “Swan Lake.”
And so we bid “dos-vidanya” (goodbye) to Russia and started planning our next cruise.
