Leaving in the morning, after breakfast.
(There was an optional walk to Kazan Cathedral earlier, but I didn't make it.)
Off we went in our coach to see Baroque architecture. This church was designed by a Frenchman. The pillars of the porches are solid granite and were erected before the building inside.
Dazed tourist in St. Isaac's Church. Me.
We took a break for lunch and I convinced a few people to try Jamie Oliver's Restaurant. It was great.
A wonderful fish sampler platter with Rose for about $15.
Another cathedral. Everything is done in mosaic tile.
This time it's the Church of the Resurrection aka (Spilled Blood)
Next, we went over to an island in the river and walked through the Peter Paul Fortress and burial chapel of the Romanovs.
And now back home to rest before we head to the theatre for a tourist-oriented "Russian Cultural Show".
