Update from Russia
This is a quick email to let you know that we are in Russia, just about to head to bed after a looong day (7 hour train ride). Stockholm was great, we loved it. We didn't get an opportunity to get near the internet until the last day and then discovered that we couldn't unlock the door to Andrejs and Lars's apartment to use the computer, so had to leave without letting you know what we'd been up to.
We have another 2 days here in St Petersberg (Tues and Wed) before going back to Finland (Thurs) for a day then off to Estonia for a day on Friday then the wedding on Saturday before heading for home on Monday. We're looking forward to being at home, both Jack and I are feeling very tired as we've been walking for hours every day and late bedtimes with the usual night wakings, plus waking up when it gets light (4am-ish) because they don't believe in lined curtains in this part of the world!
Guy has been his usual happy and silly self, charming everyone who sees his little face peering out of the backpack! He has been hard to settle the last 2 nights because we have had exceptionally busy days, but is adored by Anna and Hamish's parents and their friends.
love from Katrina, Jack and Guy
PS. We're getting charged mega rip off prices here in Russia. We heard it was cheap! Cost us 50 Euros for a basic dinner (one course and 2 soft drinks each) - that is $100!!!! We ran out of Rubles paying for it! Just as well we're only here a few more days.
