15 April 2015 - Kiev, Ukraine - Part 5

With one last day to spend in Kiev, I went after a few more sights that I had not found on the previous days. The friendship arch was an interesting find. It was built in 1982 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the USSR and the 1500th anniversary of the city. It is 50 meters in diameter and made of titanium.

Next, I went looking for some sort of market for some souvenirs. Sadly the rain started to fall so my day was cut short. I did find a weird little bottle of honey + chili vodka? Tasted horrible.

With the rain getting worse, I returned to my hotel. There I had a traditional dish of Ukrainian Red Borscht soup (beets). It was really sour and tasty.
