Ukraine

Kiev: city of churches

^^ I thought I'd taken more photos of this... Kiev Botanical gardens, where my great-grandfather apparently took his daily walks. ^^ The stunning Dniepr River. My father says my grandfather swam in this river as a child.
^^ The greenery of Kiev really surprised me. I expected it to be so much danker but it was covered in parks. ^^ The statue to Shevchenko the poet in the middle of a very nice little garden near the centre of town.
