      So cool! We went on quite a thorough tour. We saw reactor 3 which is the mirror image to reactor 4 that had the accident. We literally went right up to the wall joining the two. We also went to see the new safe confinement, which is a giant semicircle shelter that they built next to the reactor and slid into position. We then went to Pripyat, the workers town which is now abandoned and very overgrown. We were lucky enough to stay in a hotel in the exclusion zone, which was a weird experience in itself and there were language barriers! Honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever done purely because it was so interesting
