Any chance of you posting your Trip Report here?

On clicking the link all I got was some 'loading' pattern which I closed after I grew tired of waiting.

Much more interesting to post here and have interaction with AFF members.

I had the same issue.

Works fine for me, good reading, nice photos.

Yes, I didn't have any problem with it; there was a short load graphic at the start but it did so pretty quickly. I was using the laptop; wonder if iPad or iPhone is different.

Absolutely fantastic photos and interesting commentary - would be good to post some of the photos on here

Ok. I have tried again. Success. It does look amazing on the phone so will review on the larger tablet. Nice report.

Thanks for sharing, some great shots. A different form of presenting a report but I enjoyed it.

Having problems with Photoshop on my PC at the moment, but will work on it and see if I can post some pics soon. Strange that it took so long to load, RooFlyer? Loads pretty quick for me, both on PC and iPad.
Cossie, love_the_life, VPS, zig, kpc, Pushka and RB, thank you very much for the positive feedback - much appreciated!
Pushka, will be fabulous being in STB during White Nights!

A very different trip report I'd say. Well done, very well presented. Photos are beautiful and the narratives are great. Can't wait to show +1 as he would like to tag St Petersburg in our Europe trip in December.

Great report with some beautiful shots and love the dialogue!

Really excellent photos & report. I must admit Moscow looked far better than I thought it could - obviously some pre-conceptions.

Glad you enjoyed it! St Petersburg is easy to reach via cruise from the Baltic countries and you also get visa-free entry for 3 days. Well worth considering...
