from the "back in the ex-USSR dept.

Greetings from Chisinau, the capital of Moldova.

It's been a crazy trip so far and the fun has just begun.

On Friday we were in three capitals in one day -- flying from Copenhagen to Bucharest to Chisinau.

We spent a few hours wandering around the Romanian capital checking out the sights (of the revolution) and testing various beers.

Late in the day we flew to Chisinau, arriving around 10pm. Our totally Soviet hotel (with Soviet service) is outstanding. If you like bureaucracy and concrete.

It is early Saturday morning and we're heading off to explore the capital of this little known country. Then we drive to Odessa, Ukraine via the break-away Moldovan republic of Transnistria.

Longer stories to come, along with photos. However, I left my laptop in Copenhagen, so it may take a while.

That's it for now!

Cheers!
