Tomorrow is the day!!!

Well we are packed and ready to go (I think). John is kindly putting us up for tomorrow night in London and then we catch the plane to St. Petersburg early Thursday morning. When we arrive in St Petersburg we are staying with a girl called Svetlana who we met through the website "couchsurfing.com". We are taking a bottle of english beer (chosen very carefully) for her boyfriend as it is his birthday the day we arrive, which probably means it will be party time as soon as we arrive! My bag is surprisingly light for a years stuff...
