To the edge of Europe
... owner. Jochaim (also known as hostelman) had one catchphrase/promise on arrival - 'I get you drunk'. Its fair to say he did this and then some. Luckily we had two nights in Kiev on which to recover. In general walking around Kiev reminded me a bit of when I passed through Beograd a few years back. It had a similar scale, atmosphere and the neo-classical buildings, without the massive Kalmegdan fortress at the centre. I'm probably doing both cities ...
Crossing into my first 'Stan!!!
... the Bristol2Bataar team. They were stopping to cook lunch so we headed off and wished them luck and gave them contact info to get in touch when they get back on the road. They've been paying way too many bribes and I don't understand why...anytime I get asked for one, my instinct is to say I don't have anything. Maybe they're too forthcoming with the border guards??

Early morning shuttle & I'm outta here
Made the reservation for the shuttle. Will make it to the airport before the 5 am crew change bus shows up. Can't believe it is first come, first served seating. But I'm going to get a window.
Great to be leaving.
That's what I get for posting before actually flying. Small delay - ...
Finish Work - Yippee!
Wrapped up my work real early. Some pics of the mosque from a different angle.
Went to pick up my bag, I didn't make it over there last night. Glad I left another bag at the hotel.
Went over to one of the 'malls' just to get outside for a bit. Of course, not much there. But still interesting to walk through one of their grocery stores.

Back at the Renaissance
Sure was nice of them to let me check-in at 9:10 in the morning. Much easier to work in the room, then to get dressed up to go into one of the offices.
Plus, there aren't as many distractions. And I can take breaks to go swim or exercise when it isn't very crowded.
Did reconfirm my massage with Olga, so I should go home in pretty good shape.
Now I just have to wait for my bag to show up.
