Made it to Alexandria today. Hope to leave Ukraine tomorrow. Had to bribe Police 40EURO for ridiculous being in wrong lane. Hotel. Exhaust rattling
Crossed the border yesterday without having to bribe the guards even though Romanian police advised it. Hotel. Up at 5 driving north then to Kiev
News that 4 cars may have been impounded at Ukraine border and another team waited Russian border guards out for 9 hours only to have to bribe them.
Call the British Ambassador. Pulled over by the Czech Police on a trumped up charge and fined 220EURO. When we refused to pay he bartered with us! Banned us from the motorway too. Paid 100EURO
