Easter in Russia

We have been pondering on travelling near and far recently, but none of the trips have been so straightforward that we would have decided to take it. Instead, we’ve been a limbo for a while. But that ends soon, as we’ve booked a trip to St. Petersburg on Easter. The city should provide enough things to see, a lot of exotism, and some shopping possibilities, too. And it is a few hours train trip away. No need to queue at the airport, no security checks, and passport checks in the train. Should be good.

I’ve been in the city once back in 1998 and rest of the family have never been there, so it is mostly undiscovered turf for everyone of us. With two full days, we won’t discover that much. The basic idea is to spend one day with museums and such, and the other day shopping and strolling around Nevski Prospect.

Our hotel has a full-fledged spa (not a day spa that is), so we’ll probably spend some time there, splurging in the pools and trying out different saunas.
