From Kiev to Odessa we are separated by 500 kilometers. We are going down the E95 highway which is beaten up and in bad shape. Of course we on our enduro bikes are not affected by it. Traffic on the main road to the South is tiny and we can enjoy riding through blooming rapeseed fields glowing in electric yellow colors.
Fuel is not as high quality’s as in Belarus. It is being imported from Romania and Greece, but on the other hand the gasoline is better than in Russia and cheaper than in Latvia.
It seems like this is the wonderland for the gourmets of vareniki and chebureks as huge billboards appear on the side of the highway.
At 5pm 20 km before Odessa we meet up with members of local motoclub “Motor-Live”. They were eager to greet us and show the city, and also provide accomodation.
Many news to follow. Our comrades from Odessa are very friendly with interesting stories to share. Don’t have much time to write them down. When we will be on the ferry, i promise i will catch up with sharing the fascinating events.
