We had another wonderful day in Odessa yesterday and we are already more than half way through our stay here. The weather stayed dry yesterday but low cloud hid the sun for most of the day.

Breakfast was served as usual in our pleasabt hotel, Dvor, by our bearded lady hostess with the charming English. Fred and I walked down to the Pushkin statue and chatted to some Turkish students who had just arrived in Odessa to learn Russian, before meeting up with our friend and excellent host to this great vity, Sergey.

We set off for the Jewish Historical Museum, stopping off first to have a look at the paintings and souvenirs. At the market outside the very large Orthodox Church
