Kyiv -6

...and I picked up my currency and travellers' cheques today. US dollars both, as Thomas Cook don't supply Ukrainian hryvnas. Apparently, this doesn't matter, as all the tourist guides say you can spend US dollars in various places, including taxis. I just have to change a few dollars into Ukrainian currency once I get to the airport in Kyiv.

I also spent my birthday afternoon buying a few new clothes for the trip. Tonight I've been out for a drink with my friend Gregster, then a takeaway curry, then round to another friend, Beckster's, for a glass of wine and to eat the aforementioned curry. And now I'm knackered - it could be something to do with only sleeping between about 6.30 and 11.30 this morning!
