| 11th June 2008 Olga | Lovely wedding! - From: A Moldovan Wedding and a Orange Suitcase I am surprised that it took a British/Moldovan couple to be the first to wear national costume for their ceremony.

| 28th May 2008 Natalie | Return of the Edge............ - From: Lviv on the Edge Another epic journey made with another epic tale of adventure. Think next time you should take slightly less pictures because Marina looks less than impressed outside the University!!! You'll be able to sell your passport on Ebay when it expires because I doubt many other people will have as many different 'Eastern Bloc' stamps on as you Enjoy your next trip! |
