Tallin and St. Petersburg

Cruise Day 4 was at sea.

Cruise Day 5: The brutal five day stretch begin! We had five straight days of tours. Needless to say, most of us were worn down by the end.

Tallinn, Estonia: We toured Old Town Estonia and its century old buildings. It was a beautiful old city.

Cruise Days 6 & 7: St. Petersburg, Russia: This involved two 6 hour tours of the city. St. Petersburg was home to the Romanov family that ruled Russia until the Communists gained control in 1917. The Romanovs had many beautiful churches and palaces built. Unfortunately, many of them were nearly identical in style and décor. The rigorous demands of walking and standing for long stretches wore on all tour members. St. Petersburg was a fascinating, but exhausting two day adventure.
