Today we docked in Odessa as a result of stormy weather that prevented us from going to Yalta.
We stay overnight and then go to Sevastopol. After Sevastopol we will go to Yalta.
We had a tour that included an archeology museum and a an art museum in an old palace. Both museums were funded by a wealthy Greek resident. We saw the exterior of the Opera house, Catherine the Great statue. Later we visited the local Russian Orthodox Cathedral which was really impressive .

We,had a very good lunch included with the tour at a local downtown restaurant. Since the food was cooked to order it took awhile to get served but is was very tasty. Each place setting had a shot glass of local moonshine which was at least 2x stronger than tsipouro!

The weather was cold and windy so after the tour everyone went back to the ship.
