THURSDAY 25th JUNE 2009 (DOM PAVLOVIC's)

THURSDAY 25th JUNE 2009


With the intention of heading off and making some miles we woke up with less energy than a dead cat. It wasn't a hard decision to stay one more day and go no-where. Just stay put. Only downside is the place we are staying has no internet access and it would've been a good chance to catch up on blogging. On the other hand, it allowed us to rest.


Paul did a little tinkering on the bike (can't help himself). He wanted to balance the carbies and check nuts and bolts etc.


I spent well over an hour photographing the statues in the apartment grounds. There are also several goldfish ponds, turtles, swans and several dozen stray cats. Cats are everywhere in Ukraine. They've either just had kittens or just about to so I can't see a solution to the cat problem in the near future. Even the owners of cats have never heard of de-sexing...!!!










We had been staying at DOM PAVLOVIC's for nearly a week and never eaten in the open-air restuarant so decided we should do that. What made the night enjoyable was a Ukrainian Folk Group singing for their supper. No music, just vocals. They were great. What made the evening difficult was the fact that we could not read one thing on the menu - we asked the waiter what he recommended and he said shaslik was his favourite...and so shaslik it was.

We checked our bags and got everything packed ready for a not-so-early get-away in the morning - we wanted to wait till the traffic lessened.
