St Peter and Paul Fortress

Community Highlights Europe St Peter and Paul Fortress

Hotel said they had to move us to another room this morning so we were a bit worried. Turned out to be an upgrade to a much bigger and nicer room. Bonus!!

Did I mention we like metro stations :). If you're following the blogs you know we love them. Here is our station Admiralteyskaya. It's the deepest metro in the world and takes forever to go down the super fast escaltor.
