Day 20-Ukraine, Luts'k - Rivne :
Complete Log entry for Emmanuelle

We got up at 5 this morning to find out 2 hours later that it was 6 in fact! After a warm cup of coffee and all kinds of blessings from the farmer, we hit the road to Lutsk. We decided to change some American travelers’ checks and 2 hours later we got 500 euros and a tax of 30 Euro exchange! Chris was angry, not only had we wasted 2 hours of our time but also money for one night in a hotel! It was 10.30 in the morning when we finally hit the road again.

And it was 5 pm we finally arrived in Rivne! It was quite the rollercoaster to get there! Up, down, up, down, and again up, down! Was this ever going to end!!?? I was so tired by the time we saw the actual sign of the town that I could not remember my name!

Chris managed to call our contact who was generously offering us to stay at her place. You will see a church on the right and another on the left, a guy with a red t-shirt and black sleeves will be waiting to give u the keys, Tania said.

And there he was with the keys for a good night sleep or 2 nights because, we had decided we needed an extra day of rest!
