St. Petersburg

This morning was ok when I arrived (at 6.00), and at midday was not so cold. From 15:00 on the temperature dropped to -15, I am suffering for the camera. Still not wearing the ski underwear, maybe should start to consider...

Here come some pics:
My lucky coins (Corel die mit die C ist dein cent!):
 Frozen Neva river (under the white there is actually a river):
 Nice ship (restaurant and gym!):
 St. Peters and Paul fortress:
 Wedding under the snow:
 St. Isaac's cathedral (really nice):


 St. Peter and Paul's fortress streets (-10 degrees for sure!):
 The Hermitage by night:

And today (15th January) it was even colder... (Neva frozen):
 Me in front of the Hermitage (but not freezing, I wear the ski underwear!!):
 Russian opulence, the Hermitage from inside:
 Esta es para ti, Pedro. El retrato de Velázquez de Felipe IV:
 Seat of a Troika (with St. George, I guess):

 Nevski Prospekt:
 Church of the Resurrection:
 These are not paintings inside, but mosaics!

 And, thanks to Krystof, I will take a pic of myself sitting in a chair on every hostel where I stay:

And today (January 16th) didn't go to Peterhoff because it is not worth in winter, and got info on the trains to Moscow. And visited some museums:

Serving the Soviet Union!
 That was the bow of a russian ship (the part in front):
 Old ships models:
 Indonesian relic (antropology museum):

Today (January 17th, Catherine Palace...):
First, a look of the "nice" building where my hostel is:
 Catherine Palace from the outside (nice weather):
 Amazing halls:

 I asked an old woman to take a pic of myself:

 I tried to take a pic of myself:
 The stove:
 The amazing Amber Room (they don't allow pics, this is from a postcard):
 Dress of the XIX century:
 David eating borsch:
 Lenin does not care about the weather:

Next blog entry... Moscow!! (This will be minimum on Wednesday).

  4. Viendo las fotos uno entiende porque no pudieron tomar la ciudad los alemanes en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por cierto, queda algun resto historico de Leningrado?

  5. Muchos de los edificios han sido restaurados o están aún hoy recaudando dinero para acabar de restaurarlos completamente.
