"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open"
~Jawaharal Nehru~
Wow, it's already the 2nd last day of my ultimate dream vacation (I didn't count the last day as it's lost to travel). Time flies, but my memories will last forever and I definitely won't forget this memorable day ahead of me. As Jawaharal Nehru indicates, adventures always exist and if we keep our eyes open then we'll experience this wonderful world filled with beauty and charm.
In the early morning we'll take a taxi to the touristy town,
Peterhof (Petrodvorets), which is approximately 1 hour Southwest of our hotel. The map below outlines the route...

Upon arrival at Petergof, we'll visit
Saint Petersburg State University (I want to compare it to UWO), the
Petrodvorets Watch Factory, and of course the opulent
Peterhof Grand Palace. I always find it fascinating to visit foreign state Universities and to imagine myself attending that school. Also, as a watch enthusiast the opportunity to visit one of the leading Russian watch manufacturers presents a once in a lifetime opportunity that I simply won't miss. But the true highlight of this journey will be visiting the Peterhof Grand Palace which is a piece of art in itself. At the luxurious palace we'll walk the grounds (winter doesn't phase me) and feel the vitality!

This was a long and tiring day, but there's still one last thing left on the itinerary. It's SHOT TIME! Today, my father and I will take this shot outside of the Grand Palace. This shot resembles
SERENITY as the peace of mind I'll be in after today will be incredible.
Cheers from Saint Petersburg!
