Ukraine!

We have arrived at Kovel in Ukraine. We had an easy border crossing and caused quite a stir by arriving on a tandem! We were sent to the front of the queue where a man told us he had been waiting three and a half hours in his car so we suggested that maybe next time he should ride a bicycle for a quicker border crossing. The Ukrainian roads are very bumpy. When we got to Kovel we had absolutely no idea where we had to go but were greeted by a couple who spoke English, it turned out Dr P from The Revival Centre in Chernihiv had sent them to meet us and I guess the tandem stands out, how wonderful. The girl studied English at University but this is the first time she had ever spoken to English people.

10 Days to Go

Just 10 more days to go until we set out on our epic bike ride, we are training hard. Please keep up to date with our travels via this blog. We will try to post as often as possible during our trip to keep you all up to date with how we are getting on cycling across Europe.

Many Thanks for all the support from friends and family,
