The former Restaurant
I bet it was a very nice restaurant back in the days…. Armenia has it all with nice meat and wines! Nowdays it is just a sad ruin Stepping into the place and you will meet this staircase. I guess this is the grand hall and dining place. Kitchen was down in the basement…. As… Continue reading The former Restaurant

Ukraine, Hotel Tourist in Mykolaiev
Visited in 2013 May. A really wonderful visit and I am longing to get back here! From my balcony. another view to some sort of sports complex and maybe “dom culturny” staircase. Unique design! corridor during night. The two fancy elevators! Inside a real soviet elevator!
Dream Hotel

C47 Dakota, Skytrain
I have visited this place on the Balkans 7 times during the years. First visit in 2010 and last time in 2021…. 11 years to see how something really nice is grinded down to a total disgrace by humans. First visit in 2010 with heavy rain coming in. 8 months later in 2011 some parts… Continue reading C47 Dakota, Skytrain
Favorite hotels!
One of my very most goals in travelling to the east is to find a communist hotel in original. No renovation, no nothing after being built! Say hello this beaty in Visaginas, Lihuania. Stayed there in 2010, built in the 1983 s and now demolished. There is a Lidl standing there now… Only faced something… Continue reading Favorite hotels!
Church Monastary in and on the rocks.
A highly working church in Moldovan country side. Close by there is a lovely Monastary built down in the soil/bedrock. On the road there you will notice no doubt on fact that Moldova belonged to the former Soviet union… This is actually a very beautiful church out in the middle of nowhere… Close to this… Continue reading Church Monastary in and on the rocks.
