Day 11, second day in St. Petersburg - St. Isaac's Cathedral

Pictures cannot do justice to the grandeur and splendor of this cathdral.





























































Day 10 - St. Petersburg

The port of St. Petersburg is about a mile away from the rest of the city, because it's built on reclaimed land dredged from the Gulf of Finland. This spot used to be under water.

We didn't go into St. Isaac's Cathedral until the next day, but the wait was well worth it.
