Our Austrian Airways flight took us to the Spartan, soviet style airport, where we
were met by the tour organizer, Walter Unger, who most wonderfully expedited our passage
through the formalities with our luggage and our two suitcases of humanitarian aid.
With the ship's crew ready to handle the luggage, we boarded buses for our ship, the
Glushkov, that became our home for two weeks.
Our greeting at the dock. We were offered a taste of bread held in a traditional
Ukrainian towel.
Shortly after arrival, we took a stroll. From a pedestrian bridge, the ship can be
seen at dock on the Dnieper River in Kiev.
