Crossing Hungary to Ukraine
cant remember which border we crossed at and it was memmorable but not for the best of reasons. We just stayed cool and when the officials asked for money we just kept smilin and acted dumb. It wasnt pleasant but got throu eventually. After going thru Russia Kazakhstan Kyrgustan ans Tajikistan you sort of get used to them, but it nothing to worry about just accept it will take a while and some of them may try there luck. Youll feel better equiped to deal with them in the future. After all thats why youre going there.
Camping wise we always slept rough with no problem... we tended to start looking for somewhere at about 2pm and stopped when we saw a nice spot. Check the map for a natural feature like a river lake or mountain. To me this is the best part of the day when you can kick back and enjoy the place youre travelling thru. Watch out for the police!!!! no more than 50 kmh near towns but there wont be any signs....you will get stopped..alot or maybe that was just our experience....i enjoyed Ukraine just try and take a step to the right and enjoy.
