St Petersburg has proved to be a welcome relief from Moscow. Such a beautiful city. Admittedly I haven't been making the most of it ... first day was spent catching up on sleep after the "sleeper" train, and most of today was spent sleeping off a hangover after going out last night.
It is 11:30pm at the moment and it is only just starting to get dark outside. It is a very wierd feeling. It doesnt do wonders for the body clock !!! Sun is back up at 4:30.
One thing I did manage to do today was go on a bit of a Crime and Punishment (Dostoyevsky) walking tour courtesy of the lonely planet. Saw the streets where the book was set, as well as the stairwell and flat of the main character in the book (whose long Russian name eludes me at the moment ... Raskalnikov or something like that). Very cool.
