It was also amazing to be so close to the Black Sea, Finland was very close by and the scenery was quite peaceful. In one part of the garden there was a bench with a fountain in front and when you tried to sit on the bench the fountain would be switched on. It was Peter the Great who used the gardens to entertain his guests, and he was know to be a prankster. After the tour we were able to look around ourselves both the lower and upper garden, even the upper garden looked amazing, we were also able to spend some money in the market just outside the gardens which is a great way in buying lots of things you didn’t need. Anyway, after spending some free time at Peterhof it was time to get back on the bus and head for the boat for lunch.

In the afternoon we took a ride on the Metro, the world’s deepest Metro to be more precise, their system is much better than ours as you only need to buy a token and you can ride on the Metro as long as you like. Except for when you come out onto the street where you have to buy another token. We visited the Faberge museum, which was small, and saw the beautiful but expensive objects such as eggs; watches and drinking cups. Afterwards it was back on the boat for the evening; and of course go up to the Neva bar for a few drinks.
