sabotabbyI admittedly did little but eating and sleeping, as everyone is exhausted. We're staying right behind Maidan Nezalezhnosti, though, and even the laziest traveller could not fail to be moved by its beauty.
Post-2014 demonstrations, it is plastered with photos and memorials to the dead. No one goes out in Kiev this time of year except at night, when the fountains explode like fireworks and street musicians busk and young couples laugh and dance in the streets.
We grabbed dinner at an adorable café that, shock of all shocks, had food I could eat: mushroom kasha and vareniki stuffed with sour cherry, and sour cherry infused vodka.
Then exhaustion got the better of us and I probably slept more than I have in months. Awake bright and early now to do proper exploring.
P.S. Sorry for the size and quality of the images; DW's image hosting + being on my iPad makes for an unfortunate combination.
