bus to Malinpart 2

Having the Mini Bus Terminus in sight was a definate success, I would soon be on my way! However I could not find a bus with the Kiev / Malin signboard on the windscreen.
It was a very cold day, and I tried asking various queuing passengers about a bus going to Malin,no luck. After walking around the area looking for a bus with a Malin sign for another 15 mins. I found it, on a board leaning against the windscreen, Kiev/Malin I hurried forward with my large holdalls thinking at last I am on my way, but there was no room for my luggage. What could I do but watch the bus leave without me.At least I was waiting at the correct bus area. I tried to ask a man also waiting around but my russian language/accent was not understood. 35 minutes later another bus going to Malin arrived, boarding as soon as I was able to,my mob. rang it was the hospital,where are you Jim I could not,reply properly,suddenly I had an idea handing my mob.to a woman sitting behind me, I said in in Russian,please talk to my Doctor friend. Lookig puzzled she took my mob.and listened.

Find a bus to Malin part 1

In 2007 I went by Metro and Mini Bus from Kiev to Malin Hospital accompanied by Anatoli,no problem. Two days later I set of on my own to Malin with clothing for the children in the hospital. I managed to get the Metro ticket, but after two stops realised I was going the wrong way. I got of at the next station, and went back to the original station got off and looked at the list of stations once more. I counted the number of stops to the station near the Mini Bus terminus and made sure I was near enough the door to get off with my large holdall of clothes,as it was "Sardine Time " on the Metro. Watching and listening carefully,to the onboard,next station announcments, I arrived at the correct station.
Good I thought I should arrive at the hospital as arranged by Anatoli and the Doctors at the hospital for 13:00 hrs. Not good I wandered among the underground,stall holders selling a variety of goods,looking for the exit that would lead to the Bus, up one, back down, try another further along the tunnel,no luck. Tried to ask a few people but either they did not understand me,or I them. Went up a third exit and emerged in a market area with lots of stalls and shops beside a busy road, but no Mini Bus terminus.
There were bus stops with trolleybuses, also mini Buses but I had no way of finding out where to get my bus. I tried asking in a couple of shops, but as before no communication was possible. Eventually I made my way over some rough ground behind a stall selling shoes and came to a railway line,and I was happy to see that behind the
railings of the railway was a bus station, where I could just see what looked like Mini Buses at the far side. Making my way slowly back down the stairs to the underground stalls I walked past an avenue of flower sellers and passing through plastic curtains I went up stairs emerging near the bus station. Was it the correct place hurrying over the road passing under a flyover, I was relieved to see the Mini Bus Terminus at the far side.However by this time I was already late,and due to be further delayed.
