The ride from Kiev to Odessa was in fine and warm weather, 4 lanes all the way, rough in parts but easy to maintain 110 kph. 487 km in 5:20 hrs with 2 fuel stops. This is the end of my outward journey. From Odessa I head back to Western Europe.

Odessa – This is a seaside resort in summer and is crowded with tourists from inland and the surrounding countries. It is also a major port and has an interesting mix of people from different ethnic backgrounds. A dark part of its history was the 1941 massacre of over a hundred thousand Jews by the Nazi’s.

This leg of the journey to Odessa looks quite fascinating. Not at all what i imagined. Great pictures! I’ve always wanted to go there, now for definite. 😁Glad you’re having fun, and, a great ride! 😊🏍xx
It’s an easy ride Helen, nothing to worry about about, the highways are reasonable as opposed to the city streets which can sometimes be a mess.
Someone loves me/No one loves me: what do you mean, Chris? Thanks for sending me your beautiful and interesting photos! Herta

The photo is of a very old Lada and most of these cars are usually battered and rusted but this one looks new and well cared for, someone’s pride and joy.
On the other hand the building which was in the background looks like it is falling to bits and in need of some TLC.
