The cruise St Petersburg in Russia was interesting a wonderful city The famous church of spilled blood with the gold covered domes Catherine the Greart palace was mind blowing especially the infamous reconstructed Amber room that the Nazis stripped and shipped back to Germany and has never been found despite extensive searches for it since the war Evening entertainment a choice of the Bolshoi ballet which I thought would be a bit heavy or traditional Russian folklore and Cossack dancing wonderful
Ports of call Helsinki Stockholm Copenhagen Warnemunde Tallinn and St Petersburg

On to San Fransisco One of my favourite cities If you go don't just do the tourist bit of China town and Alcatraz But take the ferry from pier 39 across the bay to Tibouron Spectacular scenery Spend a night there go for walks see floppy eared dears roaming the hill sides. In the evening look back across the bay To see the twincling lights and you will understand the song by Tony Bennet I Left My Heart in San Fransico
