Celebrity Eclipse Postcard #7 - St Petersburg, Russia ( Day 1)

We have a busy couple of days so I'm not sure how time I will get to do any writing so we may just end up with lots of photos. This was pre written to try and make it easier later.
The tour itinerary for day 1 with Alla Tours is as follows and I will try and post photos to follow the same order.

8:30 - Meet at the Cruise terminal
8:30-10:00 - Travel to Peterhof summer estate with a stop for a subway ride (optional)
10:00-11:00 - Excursion in Grand Peterhof palace.
11:00-12:30 - Tour of the Lower Fountain Park and Upper gardens.
12:30-13:30 - Travel back to the city
13:30-14:30 - Lunch in a local restaurant
14:30-16:30 - Excursion in Church on the Blood
17:00 - Back Onboard



Because we had an early start this morning we ordered room service for breakfast. This was delivered at 6:30 so we would have plenty of time. You get a quick phone call to tell you is on its way then shortly after it arrived.
We also found two other ships in port as we sailed in, Mein Schiff 5 & Fred Olsen's Balmoral.

Just got back to the ship. Wow! What a day. Too tired and don't really have time or energy to write anything so will let the photos tell the story.....

What a stunning port of call, and we haven't finished yet either.































Round two tomorrow..........
