84 Izvor Street Bucharest, Romania, (+40)21/4011000
Day 17 - Our first vocational day in Bucharest - Adrian, Marco and Oonagh will report separately and Mike will attempt to co-ordinate (fat chance!). Mike's day started slowly and after lunch in the hotel I accompanied Camelia on a school visit. We visited Scoala Nr.1 "Sfintii Voievozi" school. This is a school for 7 to 14 year olds. There are 700 children in the school and class sizes are 24/25. Very well equipped school - some equipment has been provided by Rotary Clubs in Bucharest. We were...
Bucharest, Romania gse1090Coordinated by Mike A second vocational day - Adrian, Marco and Oonagh will, again, insert their own reports. On Friday afternoon we visited Mia's Children an organisation run by Mia and her husband Costel. They look after around 40 children from 2 to 20, in some cases they provide a day facility, feeding, educating, clothing and providing a stable, loving environment. More recently they have been loaned a house and are housing around 15 children. There is no state aid, charitable giving is i...
Bucharest, Romania gse1090Day 19 - By Adrian We have a confession to make about today....3 members of the team only really experienced half of Day 19 on account of Camelia and Gabriel introducing us to the delights of clubbing in Bucharest last night! Naturally we all resisted his invitation to go to a party hosted by one of his friends, followed by the night club "Fratellis" but Gabriel is extremely persuasive and Camelia does not take "no" for an answer....so we did our best to have fun :) The party was hosted by Th...
Bucharest, Romania gse1090After the onc night in Constanta headed back to Bucharest...for reasons beyond my control, I have to eliminate Croatia from my itinerary...next time... Caught the bus instead of the train back to Buc; quicker, cheaper and has A/C, but definitely not as safe. Then to a bar to watch the games. Met up with a couple of locals and a guy from Paris and had a great time rooting for Spain over Italy...except for the drunk Irishman who wandered in. Uff...what a mess as we got into a huge argument. But...
Bucharest, Romania kenpeterson Ally and I made the long journey from our hotel in the dodgy end of Milan to the metro station where we took a metro train to the train station where we took a train to the airport where we took a bus to the right terminal where we checked in.
Once we got that done everything was great. Our easyjet flight left ON TIME and we arrived in Bucharest 15 minutes early! Miracles do happen.
Once we arrived we walked around a lot with our backpacks until we finally found the Ibis hotel w...

Bucharest, Romania buranowu... front desk wouldn't take payment for tomorrow saying "People often decide to leave here and go to the mountains- you might too". My goal, first thing in the morning is to go to the train station and try to book an overnight train to Budapest. I can't wait to get out of here and the thought of being here more than 24 hours gives me chills. The flight from Athens on the Romanian airlines was notable only for two things. First, the spiders and flies. Once we took off, the spiders ...
Bucharest, Romania tomsmidlife... posh sidewalk cafes. To be frank, we felt similarly about the rest of the capital city. It was once apparently known as the Paris of the East (every east European capital city was, at one time, it would seem), but aside from a few amazing Parisian style buildings, we saw nothing to even suggest comparison. Bucharest is a city of casinos, erotic massage parlors, and stray dogs that trot the streets and raid trash bags in the middle of public parks (this last bit endeared the city to ...
Bucharest, Romania stevecori... squares. Sinaia is hiding in a valley, surrounded by the Carpathian mountains. The tallest peak is Mount Bucegi (pronounced Boo-chej) and that is where Chris, Emily, and I headed on Sunday morning. We took the cable car up to 2000m and discovered that it had been snowing all night!!! Everything was white and it was still falling as we hopped off the cable car and started our little trek towards the enormous cross at the far end of the mountain. We were following the track ...
Bucharest, Romania reece.carter... in 80US each, we could have the mother of all parties. But it would never happen, as I think I have 300 enemies !!!!! The tour finished, so we moved on, looking at churches as you do. Then it happened. We came across the Arch of Triumph. A direct copy of Paris's one. Fourth one I have now seen !!!!! It was good to walk around Bucharest as we had been told by a few people that it was not a nice place. Never saw the dogs though. Just a ...
