Here,we meet up with Oksana our superb tour guide...this sign tells us exactly where we are!!

Checkpoint Dityatki

We can use the toilets,but mustnt take pics of the checkpoint..as you can see,we didnt!

We all meet up in Kiev and head for the first check point

And the same in Russian

After we pick up our guide,we head for the first evidence of the disaster

An out of sync shot..a memorial at the Dityatki checkpoint

The village we stop at is called Zalissya..this ia WW2 memorial

That memorial

Zalissya abandoned village.

Maybe a plant room once

Zalissya is just outside Chernobyl Town.

Signage

Unsure of what this building was used for

Some peely paint

And some more

In a poor state of repair too

Didnt venture too far in

Another room off the last one

This reminds me a bit of a Sam Raimi film

Or Cabin Fever!

Wonder where we are now

The village shop no less

I cant imagine how a village can just simply die more or less overnight
