Russian Rubles

[madeinwales]

We have ordered Roubles and dollars for our upcoming trip to St Petersburg; we were going to use credit cards however our bank (Barclays) have advised us not to use due to an increase in skimming practices this year. They also advised against using ATMs at the port for the same reason, but I do think it's an individual's choice
