Our family journey to the ostrich farm!

When you have a baby under 2 you hardly have much free time and opportunity to travel somewhere far away from your home. Especially if it's a cold winter behind your window. But anyway, fresh air is very useful for everyone and for the baby in particular.
It was a cold (-10°C) Saturday morning, January 19, when we decided to make a little family journey to the ostrich farm (Kozishche, Brest region, Belarus) in about 20 km from our town. This farm is the only one in Belarus, the greatest one in CIS and one of the largest one in Europe and was founded in 2003.
After putting warm clothes on and taking good expectations with ourselves we set out at 9.10 a.m.

Our road looked like this:
