Its very late so a brief blog. I?l be home late tomorrow so expect nothing other than from the lounge at the Kiev airport. I've just checked a in hopefully the boarding card will have been printed off at the reception tonight. We went for a ride on route 15 which is over an hour passing through woodland north west of Kiev a to a village turning circle. On the way back a tram left the rails and we had about two and a half hours while they got the works units out with crane by a then it was almost totally dark. I got some great footage which I'll put on YouTube. They did manage to fix it for the moment but there are more of rotten sleepers and rails with no fixings at all. Really I assume accidents happen almost daily it's in a terrible state of reoait. Martin and I this lost he opportunity for since I end of tropical and had something to eat before bed in the know where we are stsying. We had a great day pretty well venturing as explained it last nihht. I've seen a quite good truck til into road to east of city and I'm going to try that tomorrow. Today we saw slot of the trams but there are still a few types o the rush hour services I haven't filmed a and intend ticking these off in the morning rush hour then carrying on via the metro from the station easy to last but one station which hopefully will put a me in the midst of the lorries! Lots of interesting older types and Russian machines about. The trams are mainly fairly run down although there are options of new ones as well. Cards are very cheap and revenue from that must be minimal. I'll try and cat h you all before I return, loads of pictures to show you.
