We got to the border after working hours on a Sunday night, but it all turned out to be alright. The border guards humoured our lack of organisation, and you don´t need car insurance for the Ukraine, so no worries there. We did get insurance, for those fretting, there were insurance stalls just over the border.
We pootled along to the first town, which turned out to be lovely, and buzzing with teenage nightlife. Or at least lots of teenagers with alcohol hanging about. We felt like we´d been transported back to Newcastle...
We only stayed the night, but enjoyed the much more friendly people than in Romania. There wasn't a lot of english spoken, but suddenly communicating across a language barrier became fun again. We also got a plush hotel room for 20 squid!
Only downside was on the way out of town in the morning some dodgy cop decided that we'd committed some "offence", so we got a fine. Ben got carted off to sit in his car and produce the readies, but he didn't have as much as the cop hoped for so he just took the big notes we had... Hmmmm...
