Andrew's Descent Looking for More Chicken Kiev.

The day started off with rain and cold and we were frustrated at not being able to travel to Chernobyl or to visit the Pobugsky Strategic Missile Forces Museum but instead we set off down Kiev's oldest street, Andrew's Descent.

We visited St Andrew's Church and walked down the very steep street of cobblestones, finally coming to the Museum of One Street.  This street is indeed a museum in its own right and they have collected artifacts from many of the residents to display in a quirky little museum.  This ranged from living and dining rooms to shops, political material and death masks, plus lots more.

Finally at the bottom of the hill we sought out a restaurant for lunch and ordered what was possibly chicken kiev.  We sent the 1st one back as it was totally raw in the middle.  We can confirm that it is hard to come by a good chicken kiev in Kiev.

We returned to our apartment and then visited the National Art Gallery across the lane from us.  Later we watched from our balcony as they rolled out the red carpet for the guests attending the premiere of a new exhibition.  We did consider gatecrashing but we had to pack as we catch the train tomorrow for Lviv.
