Last of the cruise pictures - St. Petersburg, Russia and Tallin, Estonia


Sorry for the delay... we've both been very busy and spending time with a house guest. Tomorrow we're off to Vienna and Prague! You must be thinking we never do any work... well, in between "holidays" we're very busy... though, I'll admit we've caught some of the European six week vacation mentality (though spread over the year).


In the interest of the fact that it's 11PM here and I am up at 4 tomorrow morning to catch a flight, I'll ditch most of the writing of picture labels tonight... I'm sure you can Wikipedia these things yourself.

Hello!
I really enjoy your blog. I came accross it last year, and read much about your UK stay, and now found it in my favorites again. I loved your "word of the day" and the hillarious things that happened to you two and what you noticed. I am crazy about the UK. I want to move there forever...!
My family is from St. Petersburg, Russia. For tourists, I think it's great--beautiful, but to live there: it's really tough, it's corrupt, and it's terrible.
I really hope you enjoyed it, nevertheless.
The photo with the cyrillic letters on the sign says "Mobiliniye Tele Sistemi", meaning Mobile Tele-systems...
Thank you for your great blogs!

Julia,

Many thanks for your post. We enjoy keeping our family and friends up to date... and try to have some fun with it at the same time.

Hope you make it out to the UK...

cheers
