After that we went on a boat and we got to see the city from the water. It was beautiful. We all had a lot of fun waving to other people and we took a lot of pictures. :) Here are some:

There are a lot more...I'll upload some at the end of the post. :)

On our last day we went to the palace of a very rich family that used to live there. YOu can not imagine how beautiful it is inside there!!!!!! THey even had their own theatre!!!!!!!!!! They lived better than kings and queens. I didn't take any pictures because you had to pay money in order to take them and I decided I'd just get some postcards if I wanted to....:}

Then we went to the church that was built in honer of the russian tsar Alexander II. THe church was built on the spot where this wonderful person was killed on the 1st of March 1881. YOu see there was slavery in Russia until the middle of the 19th century. When Alexander II started to rule he knew that he had to free the slaves and that's exactly wha the did. He may not have given them the best land and maybe they had to stuggel, but at least he gave them freedom. And after that this wondeful person did a lot for Russia. Anyway, there were revolutioners that decided that Alexander hadn't done enough for the russian slaves and they killed him on the 1st of March. There had been around 8 tries to kill the tsar before that.

After that we went to the first museum that was built in Russia. It was ok, but I didn't like it as much...We had lunch and then we had a lot of spare time till the train left. We went to some stores and we took in a movie. It wasn't very good, I must say.

Ok, my computer is acting up...so I can't post any photos on this post, I'll just do another one with just the pictures. :)
