Estimated Time of Arrival : 6.00 am with destination Belarus.Taika De Volder


Hello followers!

We arrived this morning in Belarus and we’re going to stay here for a couple of days. We weren’t shocked by the weather because it’s also very cold in Belgium. Today it was -1°C, but by carrying a warm coat, we’ve made it through the day!

As we arrived, we decided to explore the country immediately! First, we wanted to discover the culture of the country. Me and my friends went to Europcar Belarus to rent a car for a few days. It was our lucky day because we’ve found a car for a very fair price! A few minutes later, in a newsstand, we found a map where we could find the places we have to visit.

Our first stop was the Nesvizh Palace. The palace is considered as one of the most beautiful buildings in Belarus. There were a lot of tourists who wanted to visit the Nesvizh Palace. It was the right decision to visit this place because we were very pleased by the beauty of this place. Even the garden was an attraction to see. By reading some information, we discovered that the Nesvizh Palace has went through a huge reconstruction programme. When I wanted to buy something to drink I was a bit confused! I had to pay 20435.68 ruble for one drink! Later on, I realised that 20435.68 ruble is equal to 1,80 euros! It takes some attention to know what you’ve paid.

When we left the palace, we were still in the mood for some culture. We jumped in the car and our next stop was the Minsk Victory Square. In our map we could see that this place is a square where the people remember the millions that died in the Great Patriotic War. When we walked over the square, a newly married couple was busy taking some beautiful pictures.

Despite of the many things we wanted to do today, we became a little bit tired. We decided to go to our hostel to recover from the long day.

See u soon!
