Odessa

We arrived in Odessa, a large port city in the Ukraine. The currency in the Ukraine is the Hirivinia.- known as the UAH ( although Dad calles it the USB - which I'll have to explain later. The exchange rate is about $1 AUD to 11 UAH - which made for great shopping!! We walked up the Potemkin steps which featured in the Potemkin movie. Odessa has lots of French style Art Nouveau buildings - but the writing is impossible to understand! ( unless you are a Ukrainian)
