St-Petersburg

Hello Hello,

With Nirvana on my head I write to you.
Sunday we arrived,from Letvia, in St-Petersburg. Two passport controls on the train made the night really short. In the morning we were surprised everyone was already awake, without knowing that we were arriving because it was already one hour later! (the time changes) But it was no probem, we managed to get off. But when we packed our stuff we found a little caterpillar . So the first thing we did after leaving our bags in the train station, was finding a nice flower for this little creature.
Sunday, the tourist office was closed so we bought a map and searched cheap hostels on the internet and tried to find them in reality wich is very difficult in this city where we can't read nothing, and where often shops and hostels are hidden behind iron doors.
We met also a nice young girl who helped us to find some cheap places. Finally we found a room for 2200 R or 50 euro. It was a pitty we haddn't found a couch that night, but we received some sms's and mails the next day! So now we slept two nights with Elena and Oleg with whom we had a little gathering in the botanic garden by night with some poth, jambes and fireshow.
Yesterday we did the bustour in St-Petersburg, but we had to force us to stay awake because we were tired of al the walking, the late night and al the impressions.
Afterwards we had a birthday of Stassy a friend af Rita two People from Hospitality club who invited us. A lot af food, nice chats and cousy. Surprisingly, they sleep on the ground, just like if we would go camping, very hard, but good for the back.
Now we go to Rita, we'll sleep tonight in here place.

Our impression is still little dark and very often very unfriendly people, who don't like to do anything for foreigners, but on the other hand ofcourse very nice and hospitable friend and a city like no other, big, impressive, full of castels, cathedrals, Churches, palaces, museums, it doesn't stop. You can spend all the money you have and even more...

Love
