"We are all in Belarus for the first time. We had a great time. We are very grateful for the excursions. Everything was organized very well. We got a lot of impressions, enough for a year ahead. We went to the ice arena, the Veterinary Academy, the swimming pool, even visited the Slavianski Bazaar festival, the Lode island and a zoo. We, children and adults, were very impressed by nature," she stressed. Ekaterina from Donetsk was grateful for this summer and her trip to Belarus, for new friends and a whirlpool of emotions. "Everything was very fun and interesting. We had a great number of excursions! If there is an opportunity, we would like to come to Belarus again. We would like to see new places," she said.
