SOCHI, Russia |

| Our arrival in Sochi brought a very pleasant surprise because it proved to be a very nice place indeed. What was particularly noticeable was the cleanliness and the people were quite friendly. If one smiled at them a smile was immediately returned. There were a lot of very new and modern looking buildings, however the guide informed us that the financial turmoil had badly hit them also. Sochi is the site for the Winter Olympic Games in 2014. | ||
