Berlin – Prague – Ecotopia Ukraine

We arrived to Kosiv/Ukraine! From here it is only 20min by bus to the camp of Ecotopia. Wow, that was a trip. The day before yesterday Alicia and me hitchhiked from Berlin to Teplice, the first town in the Czech Republic. We went directly – thanks to Michael that picked us up after only standing less than a minute at the Autobahn! From Teplice to Prague it was only EUR2.50 for the train and it took us 2 hours or so. We nearly slept through our stop in Prague.. In Prague we went to the main square and spent some time listening to a “Momo” reading and doing street theatre with 3 other Germans under _the_ clock. After some beers we went to an island on the river and slept under the open sky. In the morning we nearly missed our bus to the Ukraine and got ripped off by a friendly taxi driver (he shall rot in hell for his sins). Well, we could stop the bus in the nearby traffic jam. Hmm, we have to work on our timing I think. 🙂 20 hours, EUR45 and 2 border crossings later we arrived to Ivano-Frankivsk in the Ukraine. Things are very different and remind me of South East Asia a bit (squat toilets, mini buses, overloaded vehicles). With some bits of Russian and continous repeating of the places we want to go to we made our way to here, Kosiv. The Internet cafe is around 1.20 per hour, so I will keep you updated. Happy to be here! 🙂
