A journey around Chernivtsi in the Ukraine...... Part 1.

This is the beautiful city of Chernivtsi, situated in the South West of the Ukraine, and only a 30 min drive to the Romanian border, which also would have doubled as my escape route, should the situation in the East of the country take a turn for the worst whilst i was there.

This city is a 8 hour "bus" journey, or a 13-14 train journey. I quite fancy the train journey next time, as it is through the day time, where as the bus leaves Kiev at 10pm and arrives in Chernivtsi at 6am, and vice versa with the same timings for the return journey back to Kiev. The Ukraine used to be known as the bread basket of Europe, and im quite keen to see this landscape at some point.

Very much a university city, with a dominating University building in the centre of town, this place is packed with students, with eye candy for all tastes.............
