Following on from our 4 previous aid runs to Warsaw, we raised funds to take another 2 vehicles of aid but this time our destination was to be Lviv, Ukraine.
Polish-Ukraine Border
The Polish lorry drivers were on strike and had blockaded the border crossing but were letting aid through with a police escort.
Curfew
14 hours later we had cleared customs and immigration, which left us 30 mins to drive the 15 miles to our hotel before the nighttime curfew. Unfortunately the roads were like this! We made it with a couple of minutes to spare.
Anti-tank Obstacle
On the route to Lviv, even this far from the front lines, there were plenty of reminders that the coutry is at war.
Consequences of War
And even more poignantly...
Lviv
The next morning we arrived in the beautiful city of Lviv.
Arrival
And we finally arrived at our destination.

Fortunately there was plenty of help on hand.
