G - Reporting
The plan today was to get as close to the ferry Terminal that would take us the Ukraine as possible but we stupidly forgot one thing Russia is huge (you think we would have got the hang of it by now) so we managed about half way and ended up in Rostov-on-Don a city of over 1.1 million and till that morning I’d never heard of.
Arriving in the centre we wandered in to the 1st hotel we saw and then wandered straight out again as it was $145 a night!
So grabbing some wifi in a strangely familiar restaurant that seemed to sell mainly burgers ;-) we found a much cheaper place just outside the centre and so plugged that into the GPS and made haste forthwith.
The Hotel Don was great very new and it was quite easy to tell that Rostov-on-Don had a Swedish furniture store!
