Woke up at 7am and broke down camp. Made a breakfast of soup with salami and bread chunks. Not that delicious! Headed north on mediocre roads. Stopped 20km later at a nice campground with little cabins and had a few small coffees. They gave the to me for free b/c i was from Canada! Headed north again over steadily decreasingly good roads. Stopped in a little town for ice cream and to make a sandwich, while playing yet another game of Russglish
with the store help.Eventually, made it up to the outskirts of Chernihiv, though i was about 1.5 hours later than expected due to typical 2nd day cycling blues (rough feet, bum and quads). Met up with Sasha, my hospitality club host for the night in the central square. We then headed to his parents flat 3km on the outskirts, where i had a much needed shower and change of clothes. We then walked in the center and saw the really nice central square, some 12th C churches, as well as the city walls of the old city.
Quite a nice
and compact city center for 300 000 people! We then grabbed a few beers and chatted on the city walls, met up with Sasha's friends and had few more pops before heading ho
me for yet another delicious home-cooked Ukrainian meal. Of course, I had to have a couple of shots of homemade fortified wine with Sasha and his father! Slept quite soundly for some reason....
