Planning

  • I traveled to Belarus on a backpacking trip through several countries in Eastern Europe. I went to Minsk with the night train from Moscow (Russia) and visited at the city and the Independence Day parade. After a half day trip to the castle Mir, I continued by train to Brest. After the sightseeing I took the bus to Warsaw (Poland).
