St. Sophia's in about three words

BEIJING: Our last day in Kiev we visited St. Sophia's which really rivals the Church of the Spilt Blood in St. Petersburg as my favourite Orthodox Cathedral. It has ancient frescos and some incredible murals including one that has barely degraded leading it to be widely considered a miracle. We also visited Kiev's only Art Deco church which was quite an interesting experience. Then it was off to the fresh food market before topping up on Massandra wine and heading off on an overnight train to Moscow.
