Great route to sneak into Russia if youâre into that sort of thing. Useful info, thanks. Doubt I'd be able to sneak over to St Pete's without the full monty visa in hand, though Link to comment

For once the snake is correct, I'm not on "holiday" as such. Open return, yeah, let's go with that. No defined date of a final return, will be home for a week in June before going to the euros. Might go somewhere else in July after watching us win that. 1 Link to comment
