Hello Olga,
I loved being in Odessa and Nikolaev. I want to go back. Nikolaev was particularly attractive. The center area has many stores and restaurants. There is even a McDonalds but I didn't eat there. Cobblestone streets and art. I swam in the olympic size pool in Nikolaev that was built to international standards. Also, the Anastasia partners in Nikolaev offer a Bed and Breakfast at the home of Irina and Vartan next to and overlooking the Yughnyi Boog River. You can see the sun set from a bedroom window.
Olga, you and your associates were very professional on the tour. Also, the interpreters were very good and helped in any situation. I was very grateful to have one of the interpreters from the second social come with Alla and me for about 4 hours on Saturday evening. She was very helpful.
I will most likely travel back to the Ukraine in May or June.
Thank you
Alan |
