Two Hundred Word Travel is a brilliant idea from creator Kirsty who believes any city, place or attraction can be summed up in a mere 200 words. Here is my contribution to her excellent blog on a city I know well: St. Petersburg. I was lucky enough to live here from February to late June 2011, seeing the city in the depths of Winter through to the heights of Summer.
