Ukraine and Istanbul - Part 3 [12:59]
In July, 2011, Pat and I flew to Kiev, Ukraine, and boarded the Viking Lomonosov for a 12-day cruise on the Dnieper River to the Black Sea; then we flew to Istanbul, Turkey, for four days. In Part 3 we tour Zaporozhye, ancestral home of the Cossacks. We drive along Lenin Street; see the Lenin Monument, dam and the city's massive hydroelectric plant. Then we visit the Cossack Museum of Khortitsa. and see a special Cossack horsemanship show including folkloric music and dance, and enjoy some vodka. Then we travel to Kherson for a tour of this small city, founded in 1778 by order of Catherine the Great and named after the nearby ancient Greek colony of Chersonesos Taurica. We walk along the river embankment, see the monument to Prince Potjomkin and visit St. Catherine's Cathedral, decidedly Mediterranean in design.
