20180725 St. P. Day Tour 2 (10 photos)

Arriving at the canal boats, we begin to appreciate our guide Nellie as the boat captains show preference for her over other tour groups approaching the docks. After boarding the top deck, we glide under a bridge and get a closer view of sunbathers on the bank making good use of a summer day. Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral soon dominates the fortress view. Crossing the Neva River, our boat joins others and shows us buildings seen yesterday from the bus.
