We caught the bus over to the Brasov train station. Our train for 75 minutes late (apparently a common problem coming through the Bucegi mountains). While we waited we met a British man named Simon. He was moving on after 6 years fo training teachers in Romania. We chatted with him for over an hour about Romania and travelling in general. He offered to meet us at the McDonalds in Bucharest after the train ride to show us how to catch the airport bus, saving us th...

Hi Everyone! This will be our last entry from Eastern Europe for a little while. We will very shortly be heading back to our hostel to grab our bags and to go hop our train. From there, we will head back to Bucharest, catch a cab to the airport and begin the final stages of our return. Thankfully, we remembered to bring a deck of cards and three books a piece so we'll have something to entertain us until we can check our bags around 4 in the morning. So yes...

They had Irish Step Dancers and everything so it was a nice evening. We were intro...

Hi People, Our last day in Budapest was really nice. We took off around 11:00am and headed out to the warf and hopped onto the day cruise. The really nice thing about the cruise was that there are three different routes and we were able to take a different route and get another set of sites to see on the water. This tour took us around Margaret Island and under a couple of different bridges. Now, before you ask, I will confirm. Most of the stories still rev...
