An earlish start as we wanted to get to our hotel in Odessa while the sun was still up.
We bumped along the rough road until it became unsealed and smooth. Here we could travel at 80km/hr. Once again it became sealed and rough. Slowly, as we closed on Mykolaiv it became of a better quality.
 
From here we were on the main drag all the way to Odessa.





Finally got around to getting all the mud off EC.








A ski jump into the water??
 Kite surfers out and about

 Reading!


We came close to our track from Nov 15 2018. 11 months ago.
Through the city to Arcadia and our hotel. Very busy time of Saturday afternoon. Finally found the accommodation but the security guys would not let us through the gate. Instead we parked on the road side.


I went up to check-in. A lady let me through the door and I showed her my booking. She let me through the next door and said floor 2. 
 
I walked up but only the door to the balcony the next 3 flights just the same, door to balcony. I ventured out to the balcony it and found another door back in at the other end of balcony. I retreated down 3 flights and exited to balcony finding the entrance to the hotel. I managed to book in. I noticed John coming with another load so went out to meet him so he didn’t haven't to “find” the hotel.
 



A nice little one bedroom apartment. 
 
We parked EC in the opposite hotels car park. At a cost of 90UAH (AU$5.50). John parked under a light with the bum hanging outside the car park. A good place for her while we are in Aus.
 



A long hot shower, city clothes then out to dinner. We went to the shopping centre and found a nice restaurant. I had quail which was the nicest I have had. Three halves of large fat quail.


 
 John had a so-so duck burger.

And we tried the Black sea mussels which were rather overpowered by their sauce.
