Vika’s trip to Nikolaiev from 6th of June till 16th of June 2025
Because there are still no flights to Ukraine, Vika flew to Chisinau (Moldova) and from there she took a bus to Odessa and then another bus to Nikolaiev. The whole trip lasted about 8 hours. Crossing the border between Ukraine and Moldova took only 40 minutes.
In Nikolaiev there was real summer weather, it was more than 30 degrees centigrade.The city looked very clean, well kept and tidy. Vike thinks Nikolaiev is cleaner than Nürnberg (Germany).
During those ten days Vika has not heard any explosion, luckily it was calm.
