Our route was to Kiev but it involved a long ride, a night in a hotel, followed by another long ride to another Hotel. All that way to say I went to Kiev seemed not such a good idea so the rebels went direct to Lviv. A long ride but a good one. Unfortunately we had to do the morning leg on the motorway, which are all the same..... but after lunch of Borsch and Sashlika the road improved and until we got sunset strike it was a very good ride.
We were staying at the Hotel Opera, which was opposite the Opera House. This time I was lucky and was able to see the Mariage of Figaro. What fun.
Thursday was then a lay day and most enjoyable too. We were travelling at the time of the European Football Cup and Russia was playing again so the town stopped for the game. Russia lost to the delight of the Ukrainians.
Lviv is a pretty city.

UGH this was a rather crazy place since one of your rebels got kicked off the trip because he refused to move from your room...Remember!!!!!!!!!!!!Washed clothes all over the room.. A hot and tired Ed Olsen trying to get in a room. Me trying to get Garmin to work and then the worthless leader not being able to come up with a workable solution for two men to share the available room pools. This was the night you told me I should have the goats locked up...and probably I should have. From one rebel rider to another. Thanks to T.J and Tom I did not feel totally abandoned in a foreign country.
