Just checked into the hotel Nevsky Grand in beautiful and busy downtown Saint Petersburg Russia. The train ride from Helsinki was interesting, but the views were only okay. Mostly forest in Finland and mostly old crappy industrial buildings in rural Russia. The border crossing was simple and easy. The parts we saw of suburban St. Petersburg were very high density with both old and brand new apartment buildings.
Our walk of a couple km to our hotel did provide some incredible views of some outstanding architecture. We are heading out for beer and maybe some Russia food!
More to follow soon. Cheers y'all.
