We arrived in Kiev early Saturday evening after traveling from Omaha through Cincinnati through London (Gatwick). Note - if you are traveling through Gatwick and have to change terminals, you are only allowed 1 carry on. This created a bit of a problem as we had laptop bags and backpacks. Somehow, we managed to shove all our stuff (laptop bags) into our backpacks. dont ask me how we accomplished this, but it got done.
Kiev was in the midst of some sort of festival and we stayed downtown in an apartment adjacent to the main square. Great location, but our apartment required some adjustments.... Hot water took 10 minutes or longer to warm up, and our electricity was limited to 3-4 lights or appliances at a time or the breaker would trip. Glad I had seen the breaker box near the door and didnt get electrocuted. Our apartment is the top balcony on the right.
Sunday morning was an excellent time to be in Kiev, there was an organized street festival of sorts and a lot of political demonstrations, apparently elections here are within the next couple of weeks. Many families were out enjoying a beautiful fall day with temperatures in the mid 60's.
