Other Belarus
Photo report to get more (79 pictures), so please be patient.
A visit to our neighbors in Belarus, there were many. Many noticed excellent roads, clean streets, painted houses and low cost products. Some were looking at something else: a totalitarian regime, the state monopoly, small salaries.
What is Belarus for tourists? It Minsk, recovered from the ruins of castles and World Nesvizh, Brest Fortress and the Bialowieza Forest. I travel to this country for five consecutive years, and seemed to find something unknown and unusual to be difficult. Therefore, our rally was held on the remote province on the scale of this small republic. And interestingly there was even more than on the main roads and directions.
Today I'll show you another Belarus - without the politics, economy and standard sights. Meet - Belarusian backwoods.
By the way, this trip was not exactly held and collapsed on the way, if not the online store tutGPS, have supplied our rally walkie-talkies. Radios seriously helped us in coordinating convoys, and it was fun. And I have lots of discount cards that store. Who needs - contact
