A night out in Lviv

 Lviv has many smart cafes and this combined with warm summer temperatures make them a welcome place to waste time on a hot afternoon.

Divide these prices by 20 to give the NZ S price. 

Alcohol is incredibly cheap, though much of it is pretty horrible. The ugly side of that are the large number of alcoholics on the street. Walking back to the hotel in the evening I noticed up ahead a police car partly parked on the footpath and a couple of policemen talking to 4 or 5 drunk men. It wasn't until I was alongside them that I noticed a dead man lying on the footpath in a transparent body bag. Aged in his fifties he too looked alcoholic. What surprised me is that he wasn't covered, the police didn't even bother closing the footpath and no one seemed at all upset.

This lovely wine bar didn't have much of a wine list but it did have two New Zealand wines and none from Australia bless them. Both wines, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot Noir, were from Marlborough and very expensive. Only one bottle of French wine was more expensive.
