We have managed to post a few photos via our iPad and the weather has turned in our favor in a big way. The last two days have been sun and outings. After a fancy breakfast at the Hotel Kempinski we set out for a big day at Peterhof &#8211; the summer palace, fountains and gardens a 45 minute hydrofoil boat ride away (very cool). The multiple palaces were destroyed in WWII and then rebuilt. The fountains are all gravity flow with no pumps! Sorry but no photos were allowed inside the palace (right after the one I took of the nice Russian tour guide lady). Then back for a tradional Russian dinner and homemade flavored vodka at Yat (named after a no longer used letter of the Russian alphabet which has no sound &#8211; it gives a strong accent to the preceding letter).If our luck continues more photos might appear on this blog, but if not photos may show up on Flickr.com.
