We drove to Chernivtsi \u2013 and this was very interesting. The houses once we got into Bukovyina were entirely different than the Podilsky houses. Lots of beautiful and intricate metal work and the houses are BIG. Chernivtsi is a confusing city and it was quite the challenge for Eugene to find the hotel even though it was supposed to be on the main street. He ended up getting a taxi driver to lead us to it. Hotel Cheremosh. This is the oldest hotel we’ve been in. Looks Soviet and the rooms bathrooms are old looking but downstairs is all redone and there was a working ATM.

That was enough. Oh yeah, when we were in Kaminets Podilsky, the place were we had lunch had a stunning view. It was right on a cliff.<\/p>\n

And now to bed. I’m hoping for a good rest. Tomorrow we drive to Gido’s village.<\/p>\n
Getting out of the city was challenging. No signs, and the ones that were there were the truck signs. Cobblestones make for really rough driving and all of the streets in the city are cobblestone. Asing a taksi driver is the best way to find anything and they are so amzingly friendly. Last night when we came in, one of them led us with his car to our hotel through twisty windy streets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
We drove to Hitler’s secret bunker just outside of Vinnitstya. Such a beautiful and tragic place. Fourteen thousand Ukrainian POWs and some German solders built it and then they were all shot. It was an overwhelmingly emotional experience to walk through the forest. We drove to Kaminets Podilsky and had lunch there and then … Continue reading “Hitler’s bunker”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[384,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ukraine-trip","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3227"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4590,"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3227\/revisions\/4590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
