Vinnitsa, Ukraine

The road to Vinnitsa was more or less crap, but it could of been worse.

Again plenty of WWII memorials and burial grounds

and this sign for something

I arrived in Vinnitsa and found a hotel. Lina was coming the next day to check out Vinnitsa and ride back to Kiev with me.

She showed up by train in the morning and we walked around the town.

It was an amazing place! All new streets, fresh remodel of the city center, trams from Switzerland and new buses plus the largest dancing fountain in Europe!

As normal plenty of churches

They were having a bike race

tours on antique trams

Just walking around on a beautiful day!

The list of people buried there the died from WWII, also some names from WWI who are buried there

These ladies with hoop dresses on were selling flowers at the fountain

The fountain at night. It was incredible! If nothing else just to see how high it shoots the water! Half the town was there on a Saturday night to watch the show

You can kind of see it here but it would shoot up a wall of water and then a projector would project images onto the water. There was a short film played on it with music and all.

The next day we took off to Kiev. I wanted to stop at the bunker built for Hitler and see it. There isnt much left of it but I was in the area. Unfortunately it was not open yet. An old lady was grazing her cattle on the land now. I thought it was kind of poetic justice :)

We continued on back to kiev uneventfully. Lina went home and I spent the day doing laundry!

ALL in all it was an amazing trip! a bit to much rain but a well needed break from the grind of everyday.
