From Finland to Russia by Train

















The train from Finland to Russia takes about 7 hours and is very unique. It truly feels as though you are stepping into the past, James Bond 's past. As you walk from one train car to the next, the halls are very narrow and there are security passport checks every hour. If you are sleeping, as I was during one of these checks, they actually wake you up to see your face, to make sure you are really you!
ARRIVING IN ST.PETERSBURG
















St. Petersburg is also known as the Venise of the north, due to the many canals and waterways throughout the city.














The buildings are full of gold and the magnitude and size of the buildings are quite magnificent.

Above is the Church of the most well known churches, the Church of Spilt Blood.
