(Not) Wordless Wednesday - St. Petersburg

 These photos are from the first time we visited Russia in 2014.

If you do your own thing in Russia you need to get a visa, not that many people would want to under the current conditions in that part of the world now! The ships tell you that you have to take their tours but that is not true. We booked with a registered Russian tour company and had eight in our group as opposed to ship tours with forty people.


St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral built in 1753.


We weren't allowed to take photos so I stood in the doorway with the flash turned off and hoped no-one would notice.

I took so many photos there so more will most likely be appearing here. I am glad I did though as we obviously will never return there.

I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the blog hop.

    I'd never been there, so now the only solution is to see images.

    Happy WW, Jackie! Have a fine week!😘❤️

    Brave one sneaking photos in Russia. Mom went there on a ship. The tour thing was very controlling and she was happy to get back on the ship and sail away.

    Amazing architecture! You're definitely a seasoned traveller, not the one bawling on take-offs and spilling food/drink everywhere. 😁

    Beautiful photos, but definitely no place I would want to go. Of course, I never want to go anywhere as I am a homebody. XO
