September 16 Odessa




Odessa is built over Catacombs made of sandstone. We took a tour which took us 15km outside Odessa to a museum and entrance of the Catacombs. The Catacombs were used during WW II for the resistance to hide. It is 30 metres below ground and would be the length of 1700km if spread out straight. We walked through about 1 km and the temperature was 10'c (constant through the enire year). Our interpreter commented it was quite refreshing inside this summer as the outside temperatures reached 40'C plus.
