Another -2.5℃ John noticed this floating island on the lake it came into shore for a while then drifted on it's way.An early morning walker came past and looked at the maps. John went out to talk to her but she was not very comfortable. Just before leaving a fisherman arrived, as we left, the lady walker turned up and spoke to the fisherman who hailed us, we stopped and John had a good conversation with him, but the walker left.
As
I had told Pavel we’d be there in the afternoon we mosied on north
east to find the large river north of Kiev. John did a great job of
picking smooth roads. There was only one very short one that was very
rough. The large river is the Dnieper river, Kiev Reservoir, and has
upriver of it the cooling pond for Chernobyl. We got to within 50km
as the crow fly’s from Chernobyl.
Still
very foggy and windy. Our little Piklet stop on a dam wall neer
Kozarovychi was cold foggy and windy. Although a couple of little
kids came down to the beach for a play.
We
left at 3pm to arrive at the camp ground at 4pm. An accident caused a
bit of a traffic jam, so we went round, not sure if it was quicker
but at least we were moving. Pavel had to help me via WhatsApp to
actually find the place. Just the carpark at a hotel.
Pavel
showed us the ins and outs, were the showers/toilets were the black
water dump (a concrete manhole in the sewage line out the back). He
left us for a cold night with the knowledge that he’d show us
around Kiev tomorrow. Starting at 10am.
