Odessa

Serega

Odessa, early morning on the beach

After a few hours of watching Russian sitcom about doctors we arrived in Odessa at 2:30 am and was trying to find a place to sleep when we met a boy on bicycle who offered us his help. The boy was Serega and he lead us to the beach. We lay there watching falling stars and listening to the sea. quite romantic, isn't it?

at 11 am we met again with our accidental guide. We went to leave luggage at the train station and waited there very long. Then we met Sasha, a CSer who couldn't host us but managed to show us around. I got a photo with Mr. Pushkin ;)

Odessa is pretty but it was so hot that soon we were only dreaming of some shadowy place to rest। We went for a beer and after that to the bus station with Serega to buy tickets to Chisinau। Funny thing, one lady in the ticket office told us there were no more tickets for that day and another sold us the tickets without tiniest problem. At 10.30 we found the minibus and went to Chisinau jumping on our seats (not bcs of happiness but bcs of roads' quality...). We crossed the Ukrainian
border and entered no man's land. After several kilometers we arrived at Moldovan border. Our passports, being the only not blue were the objects of unnatural curiosity.
