Yesterday we toured into the countryside around St Petersburg and went to Pushkin to the Summer Palace. It was amazing and much bigger and full of more treasures than any palace we saw in England. It was built by Catherine the Great and totally destroyed by the Germans in WWII and then re-built. It was so sumptuous and full of beautiful paintings and porcelain.You had to wear funny covers over your shoes too. We also did a river cruise. Last night we arrived in Berlin and today went to see what was left of the Berlin Wall and to do a city tour. (The escalators took about 1 min and there were three of them-the guard only stands in the box when it is raining or snowing!!!)
Was the picture of the Berlin Wall? Did it have graffiti or special paintings on it? We were amazed at the beautiful gold in the palace. Steven wants to know why you had to wear the shoe coverings. Were you near the bush fires? (only Zoe is happy about the football). Today we have learned some hip hop to use at the concert. Our bulb is starting to flower. From 34K
