In Russia, I mean, Ukraine pictures


A few pictures from inside the 3rd class compartment. That little table flips down to the level of the benches and becomes a berth.


From the Kara-Dog nature preserve. Even with the clouds, it looked amazing.



From the Kara Dog museum. Sadly, we didn't see any of those fluffy eared squirrels in real life. Also our guide who looked like he could destroy us if we dared pick a flower.


Some flowers from Chekhov's dacha and the Ukrainian countryside, as seen from a bus.


Some pictures of Yalta from the bucket lift and a model posing at the Swallow's Nest

The Swallow's Nest: A tiny and apparently useless castle, but the scenery is amazing.



A Yaltan Confederate Flag anyone? In the Simferopol Panarama, notice that men in speedos and sombreros are banned. And the bucket lift of Yalta.



The scenery around Chersonessus, the cathedral built in honor of the baptism of the first Christian Czar, and the gazebo marking the place of the baptism.

Of course speedos and sombreros are banned. What a terrible combination!
