Day 17 - Bucharest. Vocational Day

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...

Day 18 - Vocational Day 2 and Mia's Children

Coordinated 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...

Day 19 - Barbecue by the Lake

Day 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...

Back to Bucharest

After 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...

Loving Bucharest

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...

... called the "Little Paris".

A unique style is the pure-bread Romanian Brancovenesc style, launched
by the Brancoveanu family (research on Wikipedia please, not where!).



In this city you can do it all: walk, visit, relax, shop, drive, gamble, get robbed, or eat...

Yes, you can do other interesting things, but it's not legal like in
Amsterdam. And cops can be very stupid... unlike the robbers. Keep ...

Out of Romania! To Budapest!

... a late Sunday afternoon with the backpack to look further so I simply took the room. Room is a misnomer- when you open the door, it hits the foot of the bed, it is pie shaped and where the head of the bed is, I can stretch my arms and touch the walls- cells at Alcatraz are bigger- but it is clean. And I only paid for one night. Tomorrow I will learn about sharing a bath with the rest of the floor. Anyway, dropped the bags and since it was only 4ish, I went to a restaurant around ...

It didn't suck our blood... it just sucked

... we located an article that reported that "Dracula's castle" had been returned to an American relative of the Romanian royalty who had been ousted by the Communists in 1947. The American, Dominic Hapsburg, sued for restoration of the castle - one of the country's biggest tourist hotspots - and, to everybody's disbelief, he eventually won the place back, first visiting it in a grandiloquent ceremony held with Romanian officials. He declared it was not his intention to live in the castle ...

S-T-R-I-K-E!

Teachers are on strike this week (we get a VERY raw deal :P) and since I have nothing else to do, I thought I'd update you all with the mundane details of the past week's events. We can't new get visas until December/January due to weird regulations. This meant our trip to Sofia was pointless (but relaxing) and also that we have two weeks left here in Romania before we will be ...

... little too far out of our way - reason enough to return - we headed to Brasov and walked around the Saxon church before settling in for another Moldovan wine-a-thon. Sighisoara was full of German tourists and porn-watching local lads, so got 'nul points' depsite it being Vlad Dracula's birthplace. Top marks, however, for the apple cake baked by the team of Christians who run a cafe at the foot of the creepy staircase to the ...
