third world H*** Holes

trying to go to the Crimea on this trip. have the time. very hard to find a tour company that responds to emails. You google, you get a lot of "Ukraine women want to marry you". They are pretty women but as I am a happily married woman, not what I'm looking for in a tour. Finally get some responses and the prices are outrageous for off season and such a far out of the way place, what my hubby would call "a third world He*L hole" and usually with accuracy. Maybe this is the only way they can get any money into their beleagured economy, soak the tourists. hmmm. still, the photos are lovely (of the scenery, and the women) and might be my only chance to get there so will have to bite the bullet and be a rich tourist, again.
