Capital Saint Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I wonder if anyone has photos, and is willing to post them, of the trip to Chernobyl when we played Ukraine in 2006. I spent yesterday watching the whole series and it brought back memories of that day. Sadly, I didn't have a camera and my phone then just did phone calls and texts (maybe played music too, I cannae mind). I was watching with my wife who I met that same year in Lithuania and she can hardly believe that we even wanted to go there so pictures would help 😀 She was especially interested in the series as it was filmed in Vilnius and even spotted her flat which she still has and rents out. She was a little bit annoyed at the end when they only mentioned the devastating effect it had on Ukraine and Belarus - Lithuanian people also have higher cancer rates etc as a result of the disaster. She has often said how angry she feels that. as a child, she and her friends were not warned by the Soviet officials about the dangers of playing outside immediately following the disaster. Anyway, memories of the trip..... The site of the funfair, going for a wee meal served up by the good ladies of Chernobyl, someone dropping a whole loaf of bread in the river and one of the huge fish coming up and swallowing it in a oner Worrying on the way out when being scanned that I'd be too radioactive to be allowed back to Kiev 😎 So, thanks in advance for any pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I organised that trip, it doesn’t feel that long ago, but it was before we all had good phones with cameras 😳. Hopefully you get some pictures. Still feel bad for the one guy who turned up in his kilt and didn’t get in, think it was the Cardiff fan if memory serves me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzo Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) I went passport travel for that trip, in and out still disappointed with my choice to this day 😞. Will never forget the smell of the toilets in the ground though 🤮 Edited July 14, 2019 by bonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital Saint Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Oh, thanks for sending that link. I spotted myself in one of the pictures. I'd forgotten we didn't go in kilts. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
