Hello, again! Just a quick note to say Happy New Year to everyone......we've had a bit of a mad party week, I'm afraid! And it looks as if the festivities will continue tomorrow night.....we've been invited to a couple of New Year parties, one of which is a student party organised by the English students at Smolny, and the other a random party of these nice Russian boys we met last week in a pub. Hooray! So hopefully we'll have fun.....

The thing I'm loving the most about St Petersburg at the moment is the tacky New Year lights.......and yes, Mum and Dad, they ARE actually as good as the Rockhampton Christmas lights tour, if you can believe it! They're EVERYWHERE! It's really exciting. And last night, our new Russian friends Dmitri and Anton took us to this incredibly gaudy laser light show in the centre of the city - they actually project these crazy lights onto the Russian Museum, which is a really beautiful building, and the show goes for about half an hour, EVERY hour from about 6 until 10 at night. Madness! The music is really nice though.....

Speaking of music, we saw an awesome live band at this art club called 'Fish Fabrique' the other night, and we've got a few exciting outings planned over the next week as well. The opera 'Evgeny Onegin' is playing on Wednesday night, so we might try to get tickets to that. We've already bought tickets to one night of the Winter Festival as well, which I'm REALLY excited about - it's a very Russian program of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev, so I'm really looking forward to it!

Have a wonderful New Year everyone! We'll write again soon.....

Love, Meg and Zoe

Sorry, this is just a quick message to let everyone know we are fine - we have arrived in Moscow, and are having a blast! But our Russian phone doesn't work anymore (we think we bought a sim-card just for St Petes) and we don't have very regular internet access, so...

We were so excited about our travels, we brought a packed lunch of homemade soup and sandwiches, and all our thermals, and set off on the bus! Unfortunately, the one thing we didn't remember to pack was our guide book (which is...
