Broken Locks and Water Parks

Today was an eventful day. We woke up reasonably early because we wanted to go to an outdoor museum near Kiev. We also needed to stop by the store to get water and some ingredients for Ana to make breakfast. As we were leaving the apartment Ana went to lock the door, got the door locked and then couldn't get the key out. The key was stuck. Eventually I got the key out, but the lock mechanism was broken. The keyhole was sticking out and two of the pins were laying in my hands. So, we were locked out. We had to call the landlord and he came 2 hours later. In the mean time we got some pizza. Yes, at 11am. Needless to say we didn't make it to the outdoor museum.

After a while we decided not to make a complete loss out of a nice weekend day. We went to an indoor water park outside Kiev. This place was huge, and reallllyyyyy fun. They had this tube rollercoaster like ride that we rode several times. You could get a two person tube for the couply people (like us). There was also one ride where you stood on the platform and then the floor gives out from under you and you fall into the water through a tube. It didn't look very popular, and Ana didn't want to do it. But, it looked intriguing so I gave it a shot. Sure enough, having the ground give out from under you isn't a great feeling. Even if you are only falling 10 feet into a nice pool of water.

Another good day. I doubt we'll be able to make the outdoor museum now, but that's okay. I'm still having a great time and will update with pictures ASAP.
