The ship had to stop in the river in the morning at the city of Dneprozherzhinsk since there would be a long wait for a bridge downstream.  We took a ferry to shore and a bus for 30 miles or so to get to Dnepropetrovsk.  It was a bit drizzly, made worse by the atmosphere of the industries of Dneprozherzhinsk -- steel mills and factories without pollution control, the former site of missile factories.  It was apparent, however, that most of the capacity was unused.  It was a dreary city that we were please to get past.
