HitchlogQuiet guy going to the perfect location
After a fairly long wait (for Western Ukraine), we managed to hitch a guy going just to the fork we needed, passing a lot of low traffic and confusing places. Didn’t talk at all.
Kolomyya → Tyachiv
Hitching on a bridge
As in all post-Soviet countries, hitching on a bridge (no matter how insignificant) is for some reason considered a terrible crime. This time, some women told us off a couple of time saying no one will pull over. Just as they gave up, someone pulled over :D Took us a good distance along the Ukrainian-Romanian border. Showed us some ridiculously large houses built by Ukrainian-Romanians, all of which seemed somewhat empty. I’m guessing they all got Romanian passports, got some money in the UK and then showed off…
Opting for the marshrutka
As it was getting a bit late (we’d waited more then expected along this route), we decided to call it a day in Tyachiv (one of 4 county towns in this former Czechoslovak province btw) and opted for a marshrutka all the way to Uzhhorod.
