My trip to west part of Ukraine was spontaneous, no luggage (very liberating and quite unusual for somebody like me) - I took train "Kiev-Lviv" at 10pm and by 6 am I was in Lviv.
I haven't taken these kind of trains in a long while. In fact, i don't recall any train trips since high school, I mean old-fashion trains, not subway or metro, or trains to Amsterdam... But REAL trains!!! similar to a train you can see in movie "Some Like it Hot".
These trains have compartments with beds (we call them shelves) , although I have to admit that it's not particularly quiet, nor too comfortable to sleep on... "Comfort-shmomfort",-says my inner voice...Who cares? Comfort is overrated and not that important, when you are traveling by real train.
I LOVE the sound and movement of big steelgiant train, which brings back sweetest childhood memories !!

Not like i went to Lviv* to only have a cup of coffee, but if I had to I would've been perfectly satisfied.This Cafe [kav'ya'rniya] (see card) had great Guatemalan espresso!! Special Ukrainian style poppy seeds cake and famous a la Vienna Zaher tort were perfect accompaniments to black hot strong coffee.
Some like it hot-I do!
to be continued.

I like the coffee's expressive look
