September 23rd 2003
Rural Ukraine offers a very different view. No bathrooms
(at least no useable ones) along the road, lots of sheep, cows and
goats (not many dogs though) grazing or lazing on the sides of the
lined pot-holes that they call roads but still no signs of the obvious
poverty that we had seen elsewhere. For me it is so cool to experience
this. I don’t think I will ever lose my love for adventure
and travel… at least I hope not!
After a long long drive on terrible roads we arrived in Odessa to
find that our hotel had no electricity… so went to the venue
which was quite modern back-stage and had showers etc.
Odessa is a major sea-port on the north-east coast of The Black
Sea. It’s a large city, popular with tourists and the first
thing I noticed was the traffic congestion! It took us for ever
to get from A to B.
Satisfied that the posters were okay and that the advertising and
promotion had been fair we were looking forward to this, our last
show in Ukraine before moving on to Russia tomorrow.
Despite the fact that we were all pretty tired by this point we
had another great show and the whole audience was on its feet and
dancing at the end so it was off to the restaurant for a well-earned
celebration! After the inevitable TV interview of course!!
I haven’t been able to get to the internet for days now and
I am not looking forward to the mountain of e-mail that I am sure
is there waiting for me!
If you are reading this then of course I have by now found a way
to connect!!
Next
day...
