0.0℃ We
slept in this morning. Still cold but at least our water pipes are
not frozen. Somehow today just disappeared. We went to a supermarket to find it was a big “Bunnings” so bought some bolts. Went to another mark on the map that indicated a supermarket and it was, but again had a bit of everything and food. Bought all we needed then found a fortress ( Bilhorod-Dnister) to have lunch next to. A guy was holding a transistor radio out his window to get a better signal. By now it was after 3:30 so with an hour to find a camp we did not have time for a visit.
Tried
to drive out to the outer sandbar at Serhiivka but it had a barrier across it and the guard said we needed to get administion approval.
Drove thru some small villages on very rough roads and camped on the
outside of the outside wall of a camp-ground overlooking a lagoon next to the Black Sea. Still cold, but no snow falling - some still on the ground. A
late camp…. Nearly dark.97km
