Real life postcards

I don't think you need any text with these photos ... we went to Peter & Paul Fortress yesterday and although it was a bit windy, we were lucky enough to catch one of the 30 sunshine days in St Petersburg (per year!!), so forget postcards and have a look at these stunning panoramas of the historic heart from Petrograd side. The fortress with the SS Peter & Paul cathedral and the island itself are really pretty, too, and not too expensive (160 rbl. for students for a combined ticket, ~ 4 €). We visited the prison (rather boring), but did not spend any money on the wall since the view from the beach (I know now where the Parisians got the idea for Paris plage) is just as good. I'm definitely getting a hang for the city :-).
