More O.P.U.L.E.N.C.E. - next we visited the Marble Palace another relic of Russia's once superpower status. By this time, we checked out of our hotel already, but had to find stuff to do until 11pm, when our night train departed. And while we made the best the day, there was always that lingering anticipation of our luggage waiting for us in Moscow. "sigh".
We stumbled on an "authentic" souvenir shops at St. Petersburg outdoor market, but it was really cold, not conducive to leisurely browsing. Nevertheless, the touristy souvenir stands where stocked with the same quality of goods that you'd find at any Jersey Shore souvenir shop. I purchased a couple of insertable Russian dolls. Why not?
The train back to Moscow left at 11 pm. And we had first class accommodations, which were trivial because we still didn't have clean clothes. For breakfast, I had pancake with caviar for breakfast! Yum.
