Crimean Adventure 2009

Uploaded by Chauffeur1 on May 16, 2009
A surprise visit to the Crimea resulted in unexpected and pleasing surprises that will long be remembered , 2 days " exploring " had me spoilt for choice . Certainly the pleasant early summer sunshine made visiting Yalta , Sevastopol and the equaly famous Balaklava just that " Xtra " special.
Where else could the " unexpected " become reality.. for example a EAGLE landed on my shoulders .,much to on-lookers amusement and " heart stopping " fright for me ! ? .
Where else can you see the exact location where the " future " of Europe was " finalised " by Joseph Stalin ., Theodore Roosevelt & Winston Churchill in 1945... or indeed Balaklava.... enjoy the picture / video collage for the answers.

Livadia Palace, Crimea Ukraineby OurTravels3,537 views
I was only able to make literaly a " Whistle-Stop Tour " via Kiev & Simferopol airports...resided in Sevastopol and used the City as a 2 day base to visit Livadia Palace , Sevastopol & Balaklava.
I was thrilled to visit the locations as they are of course steeped in History... as for Russia wanting Sevastopol back I truly hope that commonsense prevails and Both Countries can compromise.. The Marine location on the Black-Sea may well be to everyones benefit in the decades to come.

It would not be pretty, that is fro sure:-) Sevastopol is a proud city. But right now there are tensions regarding the political sympathies towards Russia. Russia wants Sevastopol back and Ukraine is surly against that idea.
I wanted to ask you. Did you have time to see the central Crimea? The old ruins of ancient towns like Mangup or Eski Kermen?
Best regards!

Germany of course defeated Russia and what I saw on Russia Today's news clips afterwards shows the result was unfortunate...I can imagine the Ukrainain / Russian " Banter " amongst the respective fans based in Sevastopol et al was at a high amusing tempo......

Thank you ! We were lucky to beat England :-)
I used to cheer for England in world Cup finals, even when Germany held sway:-)

And the Ukrainian Football Team are not too bad either...good win over England.
The Crimea is certainly a destination I will re-visit as soon as possible.
