Quite a bit 'hotter' too

Mine read 5.42 in 2014 by the reactor!

But, thank you again for a very insightful TR with some great photos. Also, I did not know about the tour around FRA - when I go through there again, and have hours to kill, I will certainly participate.

And a Merry Christmas, and may 2019 bring many interesting TR's that you will share with us.

Igor lectured them after lunch about taking their sweet old time. They were a bit speedier the rest of the tour, but seemed disinterested in general, which was odd. I NEVER do guided tours unless I absolutely have to for that reason (and for the same reason as you).

Ukraine is on my list but I think I will save it for the sprimg / summer / fall months...

Thanks! I watched a video of Chernobyl during the winter and it has a whole different vibe, but not sure my Floridian self would want to endure that cold. Stick to the warmer months if you're the same.
