St Petersburg last day

Walked to the island which has Peter and Paul fortress. All slightly dull on this overcast day. Passed the military museum.

Took  the metro look at the stations marked as beautiful but wasn't too exciting. Roy wanted to see the Baltic sea do we took the underground north, walked through a theme park to the sea and found a fish restaurant where we are now having a late lunch.

Took a slow walk back to the metro and to our hotel where they were having their year end function in the kitchen next to reception. I was worried we were spoiling their party, but there was much popping and clinking of glasses, speeches and gift giving. They kindly brought us a plate of pastries and some tea. I read my book and enjoyed the rest, killing time.
We took the tube, with our luggage to the train station where we sat next to a sweet drunk old homeless man. I noticed there is still a lot of chivalry in Russia. I noticed a young man give his seat to an older woman on the train. Young men would often help me carry my bag up stairs. It is nice.
We found our platform number and boarded our train where this time it was full and we shared our cabin with another 2 guys.

The gym instructor in our cabin said he noticed Roys spine wasn't straight and he offered to do a fix on his hips. While it might have been a good thing,  we weren't willing to risk it, considering he was still in training. Read a little and fell asleep to much klinking of metal. Tomorrow was to be a big day!
