The day started at 2.00 am, when the Spanish team went to the river NEva in order to see the spectacle of the brigdes over River Neva opening and the boats crossing the city. During the rest of the day, we were visiting some other places in the city (Aurora Cruiser, gardens...)

Another reason to visit St. Petersburg is the "Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood" (also called the Church on Spilt Blood or the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ). The name refers to the blood of the assassinated Alexander II of Russia, who was mortally wounded on that site. Read more about Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood in Wikipedia Space Museum Space museum inside the Peter and Paul Fortress. Exhibited the authentic space vehicle "Soyuz-16", space suits, space food, flight uniform.

Luxury. This is the 1st word that come into my mind when I think about Peterhof. Peterhof (Russian: Петерго́ф), is a series of palaces and gardens (with fountains), laid out on the orders of Peter the Great, and sometimes called the "Russian Versailles". Read more about Petehof in Wikipedia Classical Musica Band Tip . Use the underground + a bus in order to go to Peterhof. It is really cheaper compared to Meteor boat. Metro+bus way : First go to the metro station Avtovo (line 1). Exit Mthe station, cross the street, there's a small bus marked 424A that goes to the front door of Peterhof that cost 30 rubles. So each way is 30 + 12 rubles for the metro. Boat way : The cheapest Meteor boat costs around 300 rubles. These boats start directly in front of the Winterpalace (Hermitage) and the ride will take about 40 minutes. During whole the weekend, in the Dovortsovaya Square, we had been looking people reading the same purple book. It was sooo strange!! So we asked a guy ...

In our tourist planning, the Hermitage Museum was the first thing to visit on Saturday. The State Hermitage Museum (Russian: Государственный Эрмитаж) is one of the largest museums in the world, with 3 million works of art. The vast Hermitage collections are displayed in six buildings, the main one being the Winter Palace which used to be the official residence of the Russian Tsars [ read more about Hermitage ]. Luxury Alvaro and me Look the painting walls! Horses So huge, that we had to stop after 5 hours. Too much information for our brains (imagine, we walked through 2 rooms of Picasso, but we didn't care about it...) Tip . If you are student and you have an ISIC card , the entrance is FREE! (saving 10 euros) During the evening, we were visiting the city, observing the Russian style of life. Wedding in Russia = Champagne Авто радио, Auto Radio in cirilic alphabet

If you need to visit Russia and you are in Riga, you can go to Ladpluss . The main office is in Marijas iela 9, 11 birojs , Rīga [Near Origo Square, the main train station]. See it in the map For your visa to Russia you will need: Your passport 1 photo (not photocopy of a photo!!) Money (from 34Ls = 40euros (ready in 10 days) to 65Ls = 100euros (ready in 2 days)) You will need to hire a medical insurance, but it is quite cheap (around 0,35 Lats per day). And be ready to speak a mix between English, Russian and Latvian. Good luck!

20 September. I had finished my intership in Adverbum and I had one week of holidays before return to Spain. So we (my cousin Alvaro and me) decided to go to St. Petersburg, Russia. The trip started with a the taxi driver in Riga trying to cheat us: Taxi Driver: It is 3 lats Me: And why in the taximeter appears 1.95 ??? Taxi Driver: Don't worry he he he Me: Yes, yes ... I don't worry. Your 2 lats. Bye! From Riga, you can go by train, plane or bus ( Eurolines or Ecolines ). We had chosen the bus option for 2 reason: Schedule. The travel was during the night Price. Return ticket (billete de ida y vuelta) for 43 euros. After 12 hours of bus, we arrived in St Petersburg after suffer a traffic jam. In the bus stop, Miguel (3/4 Spanish, 1/4 Russian friend) was waiting for us. Miguel and Carlos Tejo I wan to say a big Thank you! because he took care of us before the trip and during the trip. Although he had to attend some other events, we could meet a couple of times and he teached ...

Busy last days in Riga. Alvaro, my cousin is here. Rafa , a friend form the university was also during the weekend. I will write about this after THE TRIP. We (Alvaro and me) will visit Russia since today night until 26th September. We will go to S. Petersburg. Everybody tells amazing things about this city, so we need to check it. As everything is written in Cirilic alphabet, yesterday we bought a Russian-English dictionary. During the trip we will try to learn to read with this new alphabet. So, see you soon! Maybe the next post will be from Russia... or Spain... Who knows ?
