To St. Petersburg round the Baltic Cruise - St Petersburg Yusupov Palace |
After lunch, we went to the Yusupov Palace, hosted by Reg the Dance Host, with whom I rag a lot. This was a different experience, as this is a much more tasteful palace & homely. Rasputin was murdered here, with much difficulty. They tried poisoning him. Didn't work. Shooting him. Didn't work. Stabbing him. Didn't work. Shoving him under ice. Result! It was still murder. Same guide Anna & same radio earphones.
