A VISIT TO ST. PETERSBURG
Last weekend we traveled to St. Petersburg. We got on a fast train at 3 o’clock. On the train my friend and I talked a little, read some magazines, and then slept for about an hour. The train stopped only twice. It took us five hours to get to the North capital. At about nine o’clock, we came to our hotel. The next day we went on a bus excursion about the city. Fortunately, the weather was fine. We started from the Nevsky Prospect and drove along it to the Neva. Our guide told us a lot of interesting facts, stories, and jokes, which she told with great pleasure. The driver stopped the bus from time to time, and we got out to admire the wonderful churches, palaces, museums, and the famous bridges. We learned a lot of interesting things about the city and its people. The bus brought us back to the Nevsky Prospect at about four o’clock in the afternoon. It was time for dinner. We were hungry and thirsty. We went to one of the many cafes, found a table, and sat down. We chose from the menu what we wanted. The dinner didn’t cost much. It wasn’t as expensive as in Moscow. There were a lot of people around us. They talked, laughed, and drank coffee. They spoke different languages: English, Italian, German, Finnish. After dinner, we did some shopping. We bought a few souvenirs and went to the hotel. We were tired but very happy.
