Back in Kyiv

We had a great week traversing around western Ukraine. Finally, a chance to use our Toyota 4-Runner in the conditions it was meant for! Dirt roads, steep mountains, and lots and lots of potholes. Just over 2000 km (1200+ miles) covered in 7 days.

We went first to Kamianets-Podilsky, one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine. (I’ve been to six so far, still haven’t made it to Khortytsia.)  We stayed at the Hetman Hotel, a fabulous place that I highly recommend to anyone visiting K-P. It’s right in the middle of the historical center of K-P and a hop, skip and a jump from the castle.

Photos are slowly uploading to Flickr now. I’ll post more later.
