Sanatorium Solnechny, Pripyat (Chernobyl Exclusion Zone), Ukraine - Oct 2016

Starting to romp through my huge backlog now!  These were shot on my second time to The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. I visited in October 2016 for a four day tour which took us to many places which one might not see on a normal tourist trail to the zone.

It was an amazing experience to see The Zone again and each day was packed, getting up at 06:30 to catch the 07:40 train from Slavutych to The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Station, and back to our rented house in Slavutych (the town built to house those who lost their homes in Pripyat) at around 20:00/21:00.

I didn't take many photos in this one, we were in a bit of a rush at this point to see the hospital (just across the street) so, "Профилакторий Солнечный", aka Sanatorium Solnechny (Sunny in English) did not get as much photo time as I would have hoped.

Chronic diseases were treated here and Supervised Recuperation was carried out. It closed in 1986 following the Chernobyl Disaster and is largely bare.

Also a very nice place and not as well-known as the big city hospital of course or other places...
