Weather was in the 70s, just right for being a tourist in these latitudes.
The back side of the palace. A small section.
And the inside. Is it just me or do the Russians have a thing for gold?
Yes, a throne.
More of the inside.
We'll go out there in a few pictures.
Even more inside.
Now to the exterior.
With a lovely view looking out to the Baltic.
Proof I was there.
Isn't she a cutie?
One of the outlying buildings.
Fountains in every direction.
Close to 11am, the crowd gathered in 1 location.
For an exquisite water show!
On the way back, the coach was rather quiet. After 3 days of steady touring, a lot of people took a nap. I realize the roads around the city are probably a few notches above many other road systems in the country. But take a good look. No potholes. Wide lanes & plenty of them. Lights for night travel. I was impressed.
Next post is the last in this series: Helsinki Finland.
