This is the view from my room in Minsk. This city is huge. After 90% of it was destroyed in the war, Stalin rebuilt it in his grand style, and it is definately more attractive than I expected. As you would expect, the Soviets built everything on a grand and sprawling scale, which always makes judging walking distancesba bit more difficult. I have already reserved another night in anticipation of me getting things sorted at the consulate tommorow.
I am dead tired after all the damn travelling, so I am just going to walk around aimelessly today for a few hours then come back to the hotel and do a lot of nothing.
I did not get a picture of it, bit on the drive in late last night Andrew, the driver, did point out the apartments that Lee Harvey lived in... This city, at first glance, seem very interesting and I do not think I will mind too much staying here a few extra days if I need too... As I will nor know for sure until after my visit to the Russian consulate tomorrow.
