Minsk Belarus

---

Trip to Minsk, enroute fix a flat was required, with some success.

We did stop in Branovitch, about 140km from Minsk, where the hotel was a little basic, breakfast - cold fried eggs or garlic & beetroot.

Minsk is a beautiful vibrant city, although every business looks identical - no shop windows, as we can't read crylic script, is it a chemist or small hotel?



Younger people speak some English, are & like to practise.

People come to Minsk too get married, perhaps 50 on one saturday, we saw 7 couples round one fountain getting pictures.



More Architecture & statues, perhaps a bit more Russian.
