Tuesday, Oct 10   docked in Dnepropetrovsk  see also Crimea Option, Day One, Two, Three, Four,

We will have a rotation of morning bus and walking tours to this important city of urban Mennonite life. We will visit the former city hall where Johann Essau was mayor a hundred years ago, we will see the ruins of the Red Cross hospital where many of the ten thousand young Mennonite men and women trained for medical duty in World War I. We will visit the History Museum with its powerful exhibit commemorating the Stalin purges. We will see some of the sites associated with anarchist Nestor Machno. For the first time in cruise history we have more free time in Dnepropetrovsk with the ship sailing late at night, the change due to bridge opening time. We will then also have a leisurely farewell to the treasured Zaporozhye guides who will have been with us for five significant days, including Dnepropetrovsk.

There will be a number of private trips this day, mostly in the afternoon, after lunch on the ship.
