May 20, 2011 - St. Petersburg Canals

This was our least favourite optional tour. None of our party had signed up for it. It left around 4pm to take us into town, however, traffic was so bad (it always is on a Friday) that it took over and hour to get to the canal barge. It is a fifty minute tour along the canals but if you have done the city tour you have seen all these sights.
The bridges that we pass under are very low so you are warned not to stand up!

I love this medallion and believe it is located on a building that was used as an orphanage.
