The white nights in Peter

For an express trip for the white nights in Peter we have selected nonconventional for ourselves a way of movement – trains and planes. A two-day stop have made in Moscow where our relatives live. Here we already happened repeatedly, but nevertheless have made ritual pedestrian walk on historical quarters within the Garden ring. To buy the ticket for a train Moscow-Peter it has appeared impossible – days off and Muscovites began crowds brought down to spend a weekend in northern capital. It was necessary to use "Aeroflot" services. In Peter have spent in total 4 days that it seemed very little. As all this time was very cold, vetrenno and dozhdlivo. But the obligatory program to execute were in time: the Hermitage, Peterhof, the Peter and Paul Fortress, some museums, «Literary cafe», water walk on channels, night cultivation of bridges etc. And the set drinkov cognac, and more bolshee quantity of cups of tea – through walks everyone hour-two was necessary to run in the next vegetable marrow to dry and be warmed. But the main thing - we have got on McCartney's concert on the Palace area! At this particular time he has decided to note the 62 anniversary in Peter and to hold anniversary 3000th concert! It was really healthy! Home we came back by fast train Peter-Kiev. I will not describe in detail a trip this time. We will be limited to the short photoreport. Photos can be increased.

And at last the short help information. In Moscow we lived in hotel of Embassy of Ukraine (the Voznesensky lane, 17; bodies: (095) 229-1354). Conditions and service there a little sovok, but is two conclusive advantages – an arrangement and the price. There is it in the centre, for 4 quarters on Tver from Manezhnoj the areas, in very silent lane behind a building of the Government of Moscow. The hotel closed, departmental, even at a door is not present the tablet. Usual double rooms (2500 rbl. = 450 grn are accessible to Mere mortals only.). Junior suites (2875 rbl. = 517 grn.) which it is much better, it is possible to reserve only in coordination with the director if on horizon no delegations from Ukraine loom. The price is specified with bronju for the first day. For the second day and the subsequent the junior suite will cost 2300 rbl. = 414 grn. Anything else for such price and in such place to find it is impossible.

In Peter, despite huge flow of tourists, it was possible to reserve on three days a hotel accommodation "Admiralty" *** (street A.Bloka, 8; bodies: (812) 114-3549, 318-5802). It is located in the central part of a city, on island Matisovom. On foot it is possible to reach the Palace area of minutes for 15-20. Usual unpretentious double, but with all conveniences, during a season there are 2600 rbl. = 468 grn. The breakfast (buffet) is switched on. Also minihotel "Гаррах" (street Pea, 23 very was pleasant; bodies: (812) 117-78-45) in the centre, a stone's throw away from Admiralty and the Isaakievsky cathedral (2400 rbl. for double), but there were not places. And on island Matisovom is very popular in Intourists «Matisov a small house» (emb. of the river of the Buckle, 3/1; bodies: (812) 318-7051, 318-5445), but there is little bit more expensive.
