Sunny St. Petersburg Exploration
Day five on board may have started like any other busy
morning on these Dave Koz Cruises,
but it was unique. Some early risers drank their coffee to the sounds of Kenny
Lattimore, Chris Walker, and Javier Colon.
Those of us a bit groggy after a late night of music, delectable cuisine, and
dancing woke to a beautiful sunny day in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Now, I am aware that there was an elephant in the room when
it came to expectations and preconceived notions. My very first impressions of
this city were breath-taking. The views of the water and broader landscapes
were priceless. The organization for excursions into the city was detailed and
understandable.
Ours was a guided tour that journeyed through St. Petersburg
ending at the Hermitage. We had three glorious hours to see artwork that could not be
viewed anywhere else in the world. Before stepping into this renowned museum,
we took tons of photos just like everyone in the crowd of tourists.
I hadn’t
expected to ride through a vibrant and bustling cosmopolitan city. The Speed of Life of this day was
filled with surprises and education about this particular Baltic port of call.
