A warm welcome....

.....but the painters weren't ready yet preparing for our visit.(extra)
In the end we enjoyed a very interesting and lovely tour at the Catherine palace in Pushkin.
After that our tour guide Elena invited us to a perfect Russian style lunch.
And then we went to Pavlovsk palace, another magnificent Summer palace of the czars family to complete our day.

I have posted some other extras, please take a look if you like.

Thanks a lot for your kindness, much appreciated! X
The poor internet is very frustrating at the moment, yesterday evening I didn't succeed, so I'll sprinkle stars and hearts these days, hope you'll understand.
