|
| Today a quiet walk around the town. Saw our first Ukrainian stretch limo, driver could not turn any better than British ones. Went to an island in the Dneipr river to see the topless girls, there were none, but that is why we went. Saw a Biker and cheer leader wedding, the girls in the majorettes were louder than the bikes. (Thez set off from a strip club, but it does not open until 10.00. a beer in the underground bar that has an outside balcony, which is still inside. and back for tea. Off to Russian border tomorrow. |

We have left Ukraine but are not allowed to enter Russia because Grog's visa starts at midnight. Got ripped off by the Ukrainian Border Police but are OK. We've now got 2 and half hours to wait so we have having tea in no-man's land. |
