June 2015 Crossing to Crimea
Hello
I recently (20th June) crossed over from what I guess is now mainland Russia at the Kerch-Kavkaz ferry crossing to do a circle around Crimea before re-entering the mainland.
Got my papers checked for 30 seconds by a policeman as every one was and waved on. ( New Zealand Motorcycle and rider ).
That was also the first time any body checked my papers in five weeks in Russia.
As for my first time too Crimea and somebody from the other side of the world everything looked like life goes on normally. No extra police or army too see what so ever.
People happy too see me as in all of Russia.
Guess the Cruise ships are missing and a lot of tourists but otherwise looked life as normal.
Crimea certainly offered the most scenery I have had in five weeks.
