Should I stay or should I go? The lads would not go but I had a spare day so what to do? I booked a tour and joined 8 other mad tourists for a day trip from Moldova.  With the Ukrainian war in full flow we were 10km from the border and saw the Russina troops based in Bender.  Would they attack?  This fascinating territory is ruled by an ex-KGB member whose prime interest seems to be making money; our driver said tourists are welcome due to money. I collected the uniqiue coins from this place; my prime objective 😀.
