It's hot. It's really hot. One of the good things about Australia is that as an island, it's surrounded by water so swimming is not a problem. On the other hand Ukraine is not therefore we must settle for lakes and rivers.
The day started off with a water fight in the street with my two cousins. Armed with water bottles we ran around for an hour spraying each other with the cold water from the well. No photos were taken since my two cousins were merciless, we came home soaking wet.
Later during the day we decided to go swimming. The lake is a 20 minute, crazy car ride from my grandparents house. The photo below isn't of the lake we swam in, but a lake that's adjacent to it. It acts as a water reserve for the main Krasnoarmiisk coal mine.
Here's the lake we swam in. It's quite small but the water was warm and relatively clean. Being able to see your stomach in the water is considered clean as far as lakes go.
Although small, the lake is quite deep, there is only a very small shallow area. To the right of the photo is a little pier which people can comfortably dive off.
The view from the other side. A sea of sunflowers.
My cousin somersaulting into the water.
The day has left me with so many unforgettable memories that the thought of me having to leave this all behind soon breaks my heart. It's strange but my life back home seems like just a distant dream I had many years ago.
