Backtracking to Kunda, it had rained in the afternoon, by the time we arrived we were cold, soggy and tired from cycling against the wind. The map on entry to the town showed two hotels, one in the same place as my map and another at the far end of the town. The first one was in a very closed up soviet style building that looked as if it had not been used for several years, a little depressing. There was a cafe opposite and they were terribly helpful in getting us booked in to the other place at the far end of town. I don't think we would have found it without their help, as it was really at the far end down a path that looked as if it went nowhere. Where we actually stayed was another soviet style building round a square, some of there buildings looked deserted, some were done up and looked good and in the middle was what looked like an air raid shelter.
We have seen these in many towns and villages and considering the amount of bombing they suffered in the war, it is probably not surprising.
And what is this?
It sort of looked like ventilated pit latrines built into an old air raid shelter. Or maybe each family had their own air raid shelter.
