Will definitely come back to Russia!

All went very well. The guides were excellent as was the hotel accommodation. I enjoyed the tour of what I might call Old Russia. The Russians have certainly done a wonderful job of restoring the buildings damaged during WWII and I was impressed by the large, well-kept parks that seemed to be all over St. Petersburg. I would like to see more of contemporary Russia but that will have to wait for another time.

Having an engineer's mind set, I found the Grand Maket Rossiya beyond all expectations; it is magnificent.

Thank you for all your help. All the best, Lawrence.
