Sobre IBD

We went to St Petersburg in 2009 for a meeting on an EU project called ISAACabout heritage tourism. The May weather was marvellous and we stayed in a nice hotel next to the Fontanka River in walking distance of Nevsky Prospect.The high spot of our trip was a private tour of the Impressionist paintings inthe Hermitage and Russian art in the Russian Museum. The Hermitage Museum,founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great is spectacular - lavish, ornate withthe most impressive collection of art. The collections occupy a complex of sixhistoric buildings along Palace Embankment, including the Winter Palace, home ofTsars, centre of imperial power, scene of the Bloody Sunday massacre of protestersin 1905 and subject to storming by Red Army troops in the October 1917Revolution.We also had a boat trip to Peterhof, , the Russian Versailles, begun in 1714 byPeter the Great as his Monplaisir’.

  • Alaska
    Stephen Platt
    Alaska is huge and it’s wild. Its native name means 'Great Country'. The name conjured up thoughts of Jack London’s 'Call of the Wild', gold prospectors and bears, the ice road to Prudhoe Bay and of Denali, the highest mountain in North America. It’s separate from the rest of the United States and only 55 miles from Russia. It’s the largest U.S. state and a quarter is within th...
