Who knows what may happen this time ......
The cars are very much alive and living in St Petersburg! I will try again to share a few moments of time here with you all.
It is impossible to be here without being overwhelmned by the noise, rush and chaos of the roads. We are spending a lot of time trying to get across major thoroughfares like Nevsky Prospekt ( read Chapel Street/Toorak Road on a Friday at 5.30 only it seems to be all the time!) Each time we step out there are cars coming at terrifying speed not just from left anf right but any other direction they feel like - at least that is what it feels like.
The cars which , in the main are new, are driven by all ages and stages. The only group that seems to missing are elderly women. Perhaps they have more sense! Mix these in with trolley cars, ordinairy buses which range from the very new to those held together with tape and paint, myriads of small communter vans which can be hailed anywhere and see to also swing into the kerb anywhere too and the occasonal pink stretch limo and you can get some idea of the scene.
Suddenly the hydrafoil sounds very appealing....

Suddenly Buln Buln doesn't sound as exciting! Would Foster be as busy in the main street?
It is so nice to see that you both are having the time of your lives.
Great to hear about Zoe too. Love to the family left in Victoria!
