One place we stayed was at Porto Kayio (N36.42832 E22.48695), the parking area for motorhomes had the odd feature of only being accessible by driving along the beach. The informal deal was you could stay a night for free, as long as you patronised the local taverna (good deal!). No point asking them for water though, they still get theirs from a well.

There was only one: Autocamp Paradise at nearby Blagaj (N43.26911 E17.86447). As we arrived the owner was stood ready for us, and we later found there are more campsites available, so&nbsp;we rather suspected the tourist info weren&#8217;t as impartial as they might be!&nbsp;We didn&#8217;t regret the choice though. The campsite was, ah, interesting. The Doberman trying to get in the van to eat Charlie, the mortars on proud display at the concrete bunker office, the fact the owner left us to drink as much beer as we wanted (&#8220;all inclusive&#8221; he proudly told us, without telling us what the &#8220;all inclusive&#8221; price was), and numerous other oddities.

Taking any kind of motorhome across Ukraine, even before the latest trouble there, was an odd decision, as the roads are the worst I&#8217;ve ever driven on\/alongside\/around. It turned out to be an enlightening decision though, especially as there is essentially nowhere to stay. Feeling the effects of culture shock on our first day&nbsp;in the country, we eventually found an events centre, and Ju tried&nbsp;to explain we wanted to sleep in a van in their car park (they, of course, thought this a bit&nbsp;odd&#8230;). At one point a Spanish-speaking local was engaged to communicate with us, but sadly we don&#8217;t speak Spanish! Once they sussed what was happening, they kindly moved cars around to get us the best space, asking for nothing in return (N48.39901 E25.65314).

After paying our respects on the Auschwitz museum tour, we took up the offer to sleep in the museum car park (N50.02886 E19.20039). This decision in itself was a bit odd, but the subsequent decision to watch Schindler&#8217;s List that night was highly questionable. We were wrecks that evening, but again none of it was an experience I would choose to change.
