AGAIN (former) Soviet Union (continued, p.7) Not one step back! The next day at six in the morning we boarded a taxi and headed to the bus station. A few minutes later, I asked Marina if she took the sandwich from the fridge, and received a negative response. "We return them?" - I suggested. "No way!" - The answer, and I agreed with her, because I wanted as far as possible away from the "friendly" apartments. Hotel "Kiev" is clearly preferable to the "option number one," I always liked to travel by car through the city early in the morning, when there reigns calm, yet nowhere is there transport and can not be heard screaming horns. In light of the rising sun Kharkiv did not look so bleak as yesterday, and yet I was very pleased that we were going to Dnepropetrovsk. Savings - the enemy of comfort five hours bus ride was not very tiring, but due to the fact that the bus had no toilet, we had to stop every hour or even more frequently. Toilets in bus stations in small towns in Eastern Europe is always in a terrible state, stink piss and shit, and in most cases about any plumbing devices, and speech is not just a hole in the floor. In order to take advantage of such "service" should be very, very quickly go in, being there - do not breathe, and just as quickly leave. View from our balcony in Dnepropetrovsk, we had a choice of three housing options. First - Natalia, whom I met at all the same site as the Club of hospitality ", she lived not far from downtown. The second option - a hotel at the bus station, already rated a one star! According to my guidebook, "Brandt", the room cost 10 dollars should be one room and a shower. (Travelers Guide "Bredt" - one of the most popular in the West, travel guides to many countries, including and in Ukraine. Prim.perev.) The third option - the hotel "Kiev". This middle-class hotel, located on the banks of the Dnieper, not far from downtown. One room with two beds cost 48 pounds a night, it was not cheap, but the room was a bath, and one could expect the presence of hot water. At first I wanted to stay with Natalie, but when I read her profile carefully, you noticed the following text: "We are a small family with a baby, and I live in a small apartment." When I showed it to Marina, she said: "We would not be there to stay." I think she was right, we needed a separate room and shower. I am seriously thinking about the second option, it was inexpensive and close to bus service. Marina phoned in Dnepropetrovsk more from Kharkov, as we waited for our bus. Phone at the bus did not answer, but we managed to book a hotel room. Start material: Read more:
