Backward planning
For a person used to meticulous planning this trip has been quite different. I had planned very little, and it has worked out fine - I mean as the purpose was not to accomlish something in partiular it is a it hard to assess if it could have been better with more planning. Anyway, now I have to plan some things in order to fit with my Christmas plans. I will take a flight from Istanbul home the 15th December (and go back to Istanbul the 2 Jan). I always "planned" to taлу the ferry from Crimea to Istanbul and I still want that. Therу seems to be ferries both from Yalta and Sevastopol. The Yalta ferry appears to leave th 1oth and arrive the 11th in Istanbul. That would give me time enough to find a place to park my bicycle and go home. I do want to experience Crimea so I think I need at least 10 days there, that means last November. I go to Kiev the 17th, come back from Kiev to Uman 19th and plan to go biking again the 20th. So that give me ten days to reach Crimea. The two things I want to visit "on the way" are the old Swedish Village and Askania Nova which is the only remaining natural steppe in Europe. Those detours make the total distance something likу 900 km which means I have quite a tight schedule coming days. I can of course always take a bus or train again. Or come two days late the Crimea. The ferry is also still a joker as the schedule for December is not confirmed.

You had no time to plan, and actually I belive it has been good for you just to have to take the days as they come. I hope that you will "work" less after this tour.I wonder how much this tour have and will change you as a person
