I am now in Helsinki, so ordered, manageable but the population of St Petersburg lives in the whole of Finland. While it took 9 hours to cross the border in the east to enter Russia it took 1 hour to leave, no searches, no forms, and a SMILING Finnish official who said welcome to the EU, and that they were preparing for the English fans returning from the football match against Moscow.
I spent the last 2 days walking around St Petersburg and a day in The Hermitage. It was easy as I had had an overview and knew which areas I wished to visit - British, (Constable portraits) Rembrandts, Rubens, Impressionists, Spanish,- El Grecos - etc. The grey sisterhood helped, every time I had the map upside down a nice attendent would turn it the right way up and point me in the quickest direction. It was also easy as one, as it is possible to avoid the tours.
