Trip to Kharkov
Vika traveled on the night train with 2 children from NBH and 2 nurses to Kharkov. In Kharkov it was really cold.
In Kharkov Dmitriy and Nastya were examined at the hospital. The boy needs surgery in 9 months. A special splint was ordered for the girl. This will help make the legs straight without surgery.
The return trip took almost 17 hours for 560 km and went smoothly.
Trip report spring 2012
Friday May 25th
Mission accomplished 🙂
Our 2 adventurers are back home, dead tired but alive!Saturday May 19th
Anya brought Pascal and Jerôme to the historical part of the city and guided them to the main places (Golden Gate, St-Sophia, St-Andrey and St-Michael churches).
They went for a short cruise on Dniepr river and ended the day on Kiev’s main street: Kreschatik passing by Independence square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti). They were very lucky with weather although forecast was originally pretty bad. Pascal and Jerôme really enjoyed Anya’s professional guide and translator services.Friday May 18th
Jerôme & Pascal left Nikolaiev and Vika in the morning for Kiev where they have met with Anya who will be their translator for their weekend in the capital city of Ukraine.
That 500 Kms trip was quite a challenge for two non Russian speakers 🙂 and although they were stopped once by road police and chose a restaurant which menu was in Russian only, they managed to arrive on schedule and find the flat Vika had reserved for them downtown. more
