town from Helsinki for the night. We grabbed some pizza off Nevesky
Prospect (the main street of town) and then walked around town
sightseeing/grabbing a few drinks.
Tommi is Päivi's brother who is my age. He visited our family several
times, even staying with us or a decent part of one summer. His
girlfriend has dual citizenship from both Russia and Finland so it was
quite nice to have a their company plus the fact that Russian is her
native language. The town is even more beautiful at night.
When they came I decided to skip the bike tour. First of all I had
walked nearly 30 miles in two days. Let me remark that St. Petersburg
should naonly been seen on foot. Second I would have missed seeing
them becuase the bike tour was from 10:30pm till 2am. And finally The
traffic was insane. The combination of my exhaustion and the crazy
traffic would have been a bad combination.
The three of us grabbed a dew drinks and wandered around the heart of
the city till after dark, sunset was at 10:30pm. It was great. The
city was filled with action and people on the street until well past
1am.
