Brad: 3am 24th September 05 Overnight train - Budapest to Bucharest "Brad! Where's my bag?!" I awake to Mel's immediate sense of panic. "Wha? It must be here somewhere", I mutter as I stretch open my eyes and look around our 6-seater train ...
The Secret Entry
... million reasons to stay, most of which I couldn't disagree with. I would miss my Romanian friends, my host family, and even Bucharest (!), but I also wasn't too keen on breaking Romanian visa laws and being the next Schapelle, so I told her I had decided ...
Missy Higgins will lead you astray!!!

Into Romania
... it, oh well. The town is a must return to (if I remember the name). So after that we drove into Romania with a fairly smooth border and got to Bucharest easy. We checked into the hotel there (last one) then went on a drive tour to all the sites. We ...
Bucharest
Romania unfortuantely is a little tainted in our memory, we were robbed on our first morning, they didn"t get much in the end but the whole experience was pretty awful. We did however stay ina lovely hostel, meet some great people and see a few sights, ...

Fast schon EU
Ach, herrlich, fast in der EU zu sein. Schoene Gruesse aus Rumaenien, dem Land der vollstaendigen Vielfalt, der grossartigen Gastfeundschaft, der xagenhaften Xenophobie, der absoluten Armut, der angeberischen Autos, der bergigen Berge, des meerigen ...
City Architecture
... . Many houses haven't been restored in decades but yet there is no general decay. Sadly the biggest attraction of Bucharest is a perverted monstrosity. Ceaucescu's over dimensioned people's palace to the south of the centre is predominantly big and ugly. ...
Drink Barcardi like its your Birthday
... Romania the weather started heating up and we were sweated out of our tents early on the two bush camps between Budapest and Bucharest. On our last day in Bucharest (12th August) it reached 41 degrees Celsius which was not the best birthday present ...
Pucharest
From Budapest, we caught a night train to Bucharest, Romania. It was about a 13 hour ride and got a two bed cabin all to ourselves for less than 50 U.S.D. per person. It was wonderful. We had locks on the door and they gave us free water! After all this ...
No 'rest for the Weary
Another epic day of travel. 17 total hours I believe? Baby in the seats in front of me made it hard to get too much sleep. Romanian customs somewhat of a joke. First impressions, a very gray city. Much more what I ...
Romanian Folk Dancing--We Have Lift Off
... its massive Palace of Parliament and Champs-Elysees copy lies like a monolithic scar amidst the Baroque and Renaissance churches of Bucharest's pretty past. But even giant scars heal and Bucharest has the flavour of a capital of a country soon to join ...
It didn't suck our blood... it just sucked
... beauty our guidebook gushed so much about. We found this a bit disappointing, but the guidebook had it right again. From Bucharest to the Romania-Hungary boarder we were struck by the depth of natural beauty and by the first hour or so in ...
Drum Bun
We made it to the airport in time to catch our flight to Budapest. We stayed at the airport hotel Stacio again. The pictures are of our "last supper" in Budapest, a very delicious, gourmet meal. Drum bun means "good journey," or "have a good trip," or ...
Bucharest
... ; It started at 6:00pm and went for 2 and a half hours. It was really interesting hearing about the history of Bucharest and Romania. We went to the place where the revolution happened in about 1989. It was strange to think that only 20 ...
Chasing visas in Bucharest
... for taxis here. My first afternoon was spent wandering around the city looking for something to eat. I didn't do enough research on Bucharest and I ended up in a rather unimpressive area which didn't have much to offer. I kept walking and walking until I ...
Adoption in Sighisoara

We're here in Bucharest!
Hello BCCS friends! We had a safe, uneventful, and early flight to Bucharest via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. A little weary and bleary, but we have a wonderful old hotel (the Capitol Hotel www.hotelcapitol.ro) right in the heart of the city shopping, ...
Bed Heading in Bucharest
... in Bucharest around 2:00pm in the afternoon. Unfortunately I was unaware of the fact that there is a time difference between Budapest and Bucharest and when we arrived at the station, I thought it was only 1:00pm and that I still had a full hour ...

Bucharest overnight
I stayed here overnight, because I was advised that it wasn't a very fun city. I can't really confirm nor deny this, but it didn't seem all that great. The hostel I stayed at was a party hostel -- but there were some interesting ...
