TO ODESSA DAY 259+260 1-9-23 420km.

Was an easy day, five hours on the highway down to Odessa on the the Black Sea. Was nice and cool and flat terrain with rolling hills all the way, all farmland of corn and sunflowers.
On the 23rd July 2023, Putin bombed the churchand the harbouur area but a lot of the missiles were intercepted and a large area near the harbour is closed off now so you can't get to the famous stairs that lead down to the harbour area.

Stayed at the Mozart Hotel a nice four star hotel for $43 a night and right next to the Opera House in the centre of town. Was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful town with wide cobbled stoned streets with plenty of restaurant's and a few bars and at night the place is humming. There is no shortage of exotic cars and gorgeous woman who love to dress up stylishly and show some skin.


Did a walking tour and the place has a ton of history and goes back to the Ottoman Empire and has some great architecture. Took a tram ride through the suburbs and back, old but still going.......
