Yesterday was a sunny day and by happy circumstances, everyone had the afternoon off. This is St. Issac's Cathedral and who could resist the 221 steps to the dome? You can't go to the top but there is a 360 walk-around at the dome level. The view was great and all of the sights of St. Petersburg could be spotted from the dome.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
