Exactly Chookie its called the Walk of Love in Russia and the same in Italy. When young people commit to each other usually after marriage they place padlocks onto the tree.  Interestingly  from memory in countries that do this the divorce rate is high and in Russia 50%.

Not easy to forgo the meals Gert as tours from the boat are scheduled to coincide with meals onboard. When we get to St Petersburg we have 2 days there to eat totally independently. So far food has been good but I keep forgetting to take photos at mealtimes. Always remember when halfway through.

That is a bit of a bummer not to experience  some restaurants. Are the meals Russian inspired?  No matter, when you get to St Petersburg  no doubt you will suss out a restaurant or two at least to find a curry.

If you save the photos you can zoom them and see the details. Lots of people in Red Square talking on their mobiles . Lots of boots and some locals.

Nice the place is car free. Here you would see a zillion  busses parked at the door!

What a place.

Gum from the outside. Nothing like it here. I remember seeing this building in the  1950s and there was nothing in the windows with people queuing up in front

Enjoying these photos thanks girls.  Lovely idea about the locks, wouldn't you want to remove yours if you ended up divorced though?
