In English:

In this second part of our trip to ”Back to the roots” we visit the city of Kronstadt. For travelers it was opened so late as in November 1996. To access Kronstadt by bus we drove Saint Petersburg Ring Road which total length is 142 km / 88 miles. The Naval Cathedral was under reconstruction, so we could not visit it. The statue of Peter the Great is one of the most photographed statues there. We saw also a very beautiful bride. The last photo shows the former Finnish border memorial.

I give after my photos three links to those who want more exact information.

En español:

En esta segunda parte de nuestro viaje de “Volver a las raíces” fuimos a la ciudad de Kronstadt. Para los viajeros se abrió tan tarde como en noviembre de 1996. Para acceder a Kronstadt en autobús nos dirigimos hacia la ronda de San Petersburgo cuya longitud total es de 142 km / milla 88. La Catedral Naval estaba en reconstrucción, y por eso no pudimos visitarla. La estatua de Pedro el Grande es una de las estatuas más fotografiadas allí. Vimos también una novia muy hermosa. La última foto muestra el monumento de frontera antiguo finlandesa.

Doy después de mis fotos después de tres enlaces a aquellos que quieren información más exacta.

En francais:

Dans cette deuxième partie de notre voyage de ” Retour aux racines ” nous visiterons la ville de Cronstadt. Pour les voyageurs elle a été ouverte aussi tard que Novembre 1996. Pour y accéder en bus nous dirigions vers le périphérique de Saint-Pétersbourg dont longueur totale est 142 km / 88 miles. La Cathédrale Navale était en reconstruction, donc nous n’avons pas pu visiter là. La statue de Pierre le Grand est l’une des statues les plus photographiées là-bas. Nous avons aussi vu une très belle fiancée. La dernière photo montre le monument de l’ancienne frontière finlandaise.

Je Vous donneaprès mes photos après trois liens à ceux qui veulent des informations plus précises.

Your photos from your journeys never disappoint! I thought the shots from the bridge were fun, but I enjoyed them all.

This looks like a very enjoyable trip, with many fascinating sights along the way. Your pictures are excellent, especially since you took some of them from a moving bus. The cathedral is gorgeous. It would be nice if you could have seen the interior as well.

- Hi George.
  
  I am using USB Wireless Internet Stick until December Sunday the 9th, 2012. Reason to it is that we sold our old home after living there 19 years and now we are living in a temporary home before moving to our new home. The connection is not working perfectly and the connection goes off from time to time. I hope that You understand why comments are short until that day I mentioned above. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Great photos. I really enjoyed my armchair trip of Kronstadt. St Petersburg is on my bucket list to have a photo taken in the snow.

It is so interesting to see the great city and the buildings, the cathedral and also some of the people, the fishermen. A very nice visual tour!

I feel like I’m in Russia. It’s probably ignorant of my knowledge of geography but I am always surprised to see that Russia is just not Russia. Beautiful area though.

I love your pictures of the cathedral, they are absolutely wonderful! I also like your pictures of the statue, the old house (image no. 46), the souvenirs, and the wedding pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your pictures of Russia – I have never been there.

Great collection of photos, Sartenada. I especially liked the colours and textures in the fishermen photos. Sure wouldn’t be standing on those balconies – they look more than a little precarious.

Wonderful photos; I feel like I’m right there about to step into the photograph with you. Russia is sooo much more than just Moscow and St. Petersburg. Hope you have many more fabulous travels through this country.
