Insurance issue is now sorted. The hostel I was staying at rang around insurers to check if they could provide the necessary cover. The company identified was also confirmed from a travellers forum. Job done for the grand total of £8.
Staying at a wonderful hostel at the moment (Soul Kitchen - St Petersburg). The city is wonderful, but here's the icing on the cake. The janitor here builds custom motorcycles! He's just come back from a 10 day trip to and from Novosibirsk and provided me with details of the preferred route. (Keep south basically). Not only that, he gave me the details of a custom shop which can help me with any issues when I get there. (All done through the magic of google translate).
With that issue off my mind I enjoyed a full day at the Winter Palace (which is now the Hermitage museum). The museum is absolutely vast and you could spend days in there - just getting lost.
Evening was borsch in the hostel and plenty of chat. Great day.
