St Petersburg

Day 8.

Today we leave St Petersburg not a early start on the bus 1015 for a tour of the Hermitage
 
The Hermitage Museum
 
Ever since Catherine the Great must Russian leaders were assiduous collectors.
 
The museum collection gained rapid growth after the communist revolution
 
when they confiscated works of art from the nobility.
 
After lunch it was a 30 minute drive to Peterhof on the Gulf of Finland with its Grand
 
Cascade and gardens witch was Peter the Great idea for a summer residence during the soviet
 
it was know as Petrodvorets.
