Day 6 - Minsk

We're just back in the hotel, with cups of tea, having seen the catholic (red and white) cathedral, the orthodox cathedral of the Holy Spirit and the Belarussian Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War (Белорусский Государственный Музей Истории Великой Отечественной Боины).  Great lunch at a place called Il Patio.  Best bit of day was cooling off in the fountain in the square by the war museum.  Belarussian seems similar to Russian, but not exactly the same - anyone know how the two compare? - and the differences keep catching me out.

What happened to Day 5?

No internet access.  But our last day in Warsaw was spent happily and involved the post office, the Palace of Culture and Science, lunch in the amazing LOT building, a spontaneous visit to the Applied Maths department of Warsaw University, the most amazing latte I've ever had - Tiger Latte at Coffee Heaven - perfection in the form of spiced, steamy milk, and finally embarking on a train straight out of Anna Karenina, with net curtains, red carpets and potted plants in the compartment - the Warsaw-Minsk Express.

Day 6 - Arrived in Minsk!

We're here!  In the Hotel Minsk, Minsk.  Now to get breakfast...
