back in July 2012, Olena and I visited Crimea, Ukraine...
We were blown away by the history and significance of this sub-islet on the black sea.
The "Swallow's Nest" or Fortress of love built 1911
The Genoese Fortress in Sudak built 1371-1469
Our hotel in Yalta
Grand Orthodox Christian church, perched high on cliffs overlooking the black sea.
The Nikitsky Botanical Garden (1812) is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world.
Ancient caves where the Tartars are known to have lived -
some of the world's oldest man-made caves (12-15,000yrs)
The Soviet monument in Kerch, on the Russian/Ukrainian border.
