August 2011
In Crimea hryvnias were in use, so we had to bring rubles and exchange them on the spot. Interestingly, the rate differed from bank to bank quite substantially, nobody knew about cards and internet back then.
Had to travel by train, from Kaluga to Tula, from Tula already directly, I think, to Sevastopol. Now I wouldn't repeat such an adventure, 2 days with Russian Railways is no joke
Mostly, photos from the city of Sudak:
Obviously, Crimea is magnificent nature hidden behind chebureks
Bad hotels
Shitty transport
New construction
And stupid tourists
Already back then, supposedly, wine was good here, if my memory serves me right, this is an excursion to the "Novy Svet" factory
This, I think, is Feodosia. Big cities in Crimea are quite faceless and indistinguishable from each other
I couldn't swim back then
And didn't particularly worry about it
One of Ukraine's best things - cheap and tasty mineral water "Morshynska"
And the hotel was all safari-style like this
