Kiev Ukraine part 1


We arrived at the Radisson Blu hotel in downtown Kiev late yesterday afternoon after a long journey. We had dinner on our own at a local Italian restaurant with some other travelers in our group.  Then we all met for cocktails before retiring for the evening. This morning we had a buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant and then went for a bus tour and a walking tour of the city of Kiev.  Kiev is a city with ancient roots that are still visible in this city of 3 million.  There are 10 districts, 5 on one side of the Dneiper River and 5 on the other. Below are some photos that we took on the city tours.
Tonight is dinner at a traditional Ukrainian restaurant and a folk dance performance.
