Legend Green represents a place where we spent a night ( Kiev and Korosten ). Red represents a place we visited ( Narodichi and Zhytomyr ).  Blue represents cities that give context or are important for our story.  Distance from Kiev to Minsk is 480 km (300 miles), to Pinsk is 360 km (225 miles), and to Narodichi 131 km (80 miles) .

Below is a more detailed map of the Narodichi - Zhytomyr region. We reached Ukraine by traveling overland from Turkey, stopping in many parts of eastern Europe

We travelled by train for three hours from Kiev to Korosten and spent two nights there.

After the first night in Korosten we took a one hour bus 40 km (25 miles) to Narodichi, spent the day, and returned.

After a second night in Korosten we took a bus to Zhytomyr (one hour, 80 km), visited from mid morning to late afternoon, and then took a bus to Kiev.

Note the blue circle marking Chernobyl, site of the meltdown of a nuclear reactor the radiation from which still pollutes the area downwind of it, including Narodichi.
