Alexandria Park

Pauline and Wyger came to Kiev over Christmas. I wanted to show them Alexandria park in Bila Cerkev - a small place about 80 km from Kiev.
It was not easy to find the park. I got stuck in the local market first. With Wyger's help found the way to the park. But when we finally arrived to the park's entrance - it's doors were closed. The reason - the park wants to guard it's pine trees. If not guarded pine tree might end up on the Xmas market or in someone's living room. The trees on the market are between EUR 8 for a smallish tree; about EUR30 for a large one. So locals help themselves with the Xmas trees from the 300 years old dendropark for free.
