Log Entry for Christian:


We had decided to get an extra day of rest in Rivne instead of in the next town where it was scheduled. So we spent the day in the market and getting lots of rest. We had a pizza for lunch which had a rather weird crust made from egg or something.

We took it easy and watched the local people mill around the center of town. Nothing really out of the ordinary.
Log Entry for Emmanuelle:
There is not much to say about this day. We slept and rested most of the day. We went for a short tour of the city and saw a huge market. I ve been to some markets before but have never seen such a market. Anything for sale here from mechanical devices, auto parts, plumbing to cookies, dresses, and vegetables…everyone sell something here, sometimes just a bucket of potatoes or cherries. Women and children are not afraid to stand on the side of the street for hours to make a few grievnes. We did not feel like buying anything since we knew we had to bargain and as foreigners we would probably not have great deals on the merchandise.
