Day Four 

We arrived in St. Petersburg bright and early in the morning (6 AM).  After a western breakfast and coffee, people had a shower at the hotel and then it was off to the Hermitage.  As the cold, crisp morning air bit into us, we took some pictures outside.  We then went inside and explored the architecture of the summer palace and the amazing works of art located within. 

After exploring this massive collection, it was time for a quick bite to eat and a power nap on the bus.  St. Petersburg was explored and we saw many of the beautiful sights the
city has to offer.  This included the Cruiser Aurora and the Saint Isaac Cathedral. Our quote of the day came up here.  

 “What the grey building in the distance.” 
“Its not grey, its blue and white.”

 Then it was time for dinner and some free time to explore St. Petersburg during the evening.
