Ready to leave:) |
Then we took reaaally old bus which was there, usual public transport, to Lvov. Daniel made just a comment that this bus probably remembers II World War time. Yeah... well... it kind of looks like that. But luckily we reached Lvov and our hostel without any damage. Our room was looking really nice, but the smell of old wet carpet or dead animals (we couldn't decide which was it) killed the whole charm. Fortunately the weather was good, so we went to explore the Old Town. One and a half day was enough for us to walk all streets and see beauty of this very old town.
Lvov unfortunately is loosing its charm because of lots of tourists and the consequences that prices in the centre rises very much during the last few years.
The 28th of August, on Wednesday, we stood up at 6 am to reach our train to Moscow and experienced first adventure in the third class of Ukrainian - Russian railway. This gave us a lit of taste of Transsiberian train.
The first problem was in communication with Russian "prowadnik" (train conductor) who had no idea where to find nationality in Daniels passport. He looked really stressed but fortunately "German" sounds similar in polish and russian ("niemiec") So we found solution and he let us into the train.
The 24 hours in the train passed quite "fast" except two controls on the border. Again stressed "what they are going to do" when they see so much medicine. But again luckily they did not open our Back Packs. So we could get the last four hours of sleep before reaching Moscow.We of course were kind of attractions for "locals" as the only one tourists in the whole train:)
To be continued...
