Leaving and Arriving

We left the UK on the 23rd March at a ridiculous time in the morning and arrived in Kyiv in a mid-afternoon snowstorm. It would have been earlier, but the queues to have your visa stamped at the airport were lengthy and slow. Larissa, our amazing translator met us at the airport with our six (yes six) suitcases full of books and took us back to the zoo.
The zoo has very kindly organised an apartment for us on the top floor of the office building, with a view over the giraffe and elephant enclosures. It’s an amazing sight to wake up and see an elephant first thing in the morning and to hear the big cats shouting is just fantastic!





Me and Steve at Heathrow, on our way!
