Dick making a wish this morning in Sevastopol


Leslie, Brad, Sharon and Ngaire at the monument to the scuttled ships of the Crimean War in Sevastopol


The panorama at Sevastopol – this turned out to be an unexpected delight. Ngaire has a nice description of it in her posting – if you are ever in Sevastopol you simply must spend the 30 minutes needed to visit this interesting museum.




Pat continues his videography at Balaclava



Leaving Sevastopol harbor this afternoon – these are monuments to the citizens who survived WWII here


The Crimea is quite beautiful – Yalta and Sevastapol have both been interesting ports with unusual sights to see and centuries of history. It is amazing to have walked in places where the last Romanovs lived…..where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin negotiated the post war world…to see where the Charge of the Light Brigade took place…to tour a former Russian submarine base.

On to Russia tomorrow.

Cheers,
