Lviv

CATCHING UP on some blogging.. and MAN do I have a lot to do! Here I go!

So this blog is as you can tell, about Lviv. Lviv is a city in Western Ukraine. I was told that Lviv was a must-see city in Ukraine. It is one of the only places in Ukraine that survived the war. We took an 8-hour train ride to get there, which was a new experience for me. I guess now my blog name can get its full use—“planes, TRAINS, and just go.” The only thing I haven’t done is do legitimate travel by boat.  

When we got to Lviv we had absolutely no idea what to do or where to go. Luckily for us we found some more English teachers from Kiev in the same situation. They were all from Scotland and England. We all stuck together and eventually found all of our Hostels.

HOSTELS! This was also a new experience for me. I was presently relieved when we arrived to find fine accommodation. I was assured by the rest of my group that it was unusually nice for a hostel, but that was totally fine with me.

The city of Lviv is gorgeous. It is known for the chocolate in Eastern Europe. And oh my word, it lived up to its expectations! I loved Lviv. It was great to get out of Kiev for a weekend. I wish I took some more pictures, but here are a few! 

Thanks to blogging so late I have forgotten the name of this cathedral.  

We tried to go inside, but there was a wedding going on. 

This was the no-smoking sign in our hostel, it made me laugh. 

This is some unusually small Veraniki that I had in Lviv.

This is some of the Famous Chocolate in Lviv.. I had to laugh at the grammar..
