St Petersburg, Day 5

The day started off very chill as we had a bit of a lay in and as it is Russian Easter were treated to some eggs and traditional sweet dishes. From there we headed to the miniature museum Grand Maket, which is a model of Russia. It had amazing attention to detail, with gradual night over the room due to Russia's many time zones, tiny flashes on cameras of model people, moving transport and so much more.




Afterwards we met with family to let them try some Korean food. It was a very nice place and according to Geo pretty authentic. 

Lastly, the highlight of the day was our visit to the famous St Petersburg circus and its current show "Dreaming of Flying". It was Geo's first time at a circus and he seemed to enjoy it! We both were quite neutral about the animal numbers, as we felt bad for them and they weren't very thrilling. The clowns were quite funny, however Geo was laughing more than me (I think, I lack some kind of humor -_-). Most impressive were the acrobatic numbers, which thankfully were every second one. There were acrobats being thrown in the air, jumping between trapezes, leaping from swinging platforms and doing aero shows without any support. Those were mesmerizing and completely worth the tickets. We both agreed that a circus with just those numbers would be 10/10.
