Dorothy Gale Was Here
Bucharest was not fun. We got of the trian and it was a long train ride (roughly 7 evil hours each time) and just thought i'm goin to get stabbed. I'm going to just die here someone is going to slip a knife in my side and i won't be able to see them coming because of this giant bag. As we are walking we discuss the many ways we could pivot in an attempt to ward of knife wielding crazy people out to get us. The hostel wasn't even tolerable and it was named the funky chicken and there were NOT FREE CIGARETTS advertisment wrong. I wish i stayed longer in the small towns of Romania. We went from Sibiu to Ramnicu Valcea were we stayed. Then we went to Curtea de Arges, that's right we are on our way to Poenari castle fuck Brasov and it's weird dracula museam that has nothing to do with Vlad or dracula or anything really beside the fact that someone bought it and made it into a museam for dracula. We planned on spending the night at the castle. Look it up it's not even really a castle it basicly crubling walls. But the steps, 1500 of them, with our bags, after we actually got to the top we were so tired we sort of layed down for the rest. This Polish couple came up who knows how much later and asked us "are you guys hitchhiking, because we could take you up north if you want we have the room". We were fully prepared to stay the night, we had our bags with our hobo coats and our ugly sweaters we bought in sibiu. What the hell so we lumbered down the mountain and got in the car. Now at this point i would like to address everone who is reading and tell you all that i have hitchhiked before and i will hitchike in the future get over it and i don't want one email saying how someone is worried about my safety because if you know me you know that i would know wheather or not to get into the car of a stranger. All right now that that's settled the couple, can't remember the names of them were so nice they gave us wine and chocalate they were really adventurous and decided to take the fun way around the lake. They had a really good jeep type car and the road was just full of bumps and crazy turns. All led up to this incredible mountian road up the mountian side we got out took pictures and went through the mountians. They were going north and said they would droop us of somewhere what do you know it's Sibiu once again. I love that place a discount ugly sweater store on every corner a Billa market on all three sides of the square and the Flying Time Hostel is pretty much taken a special place in my heart. Bulgaria is very clean and just nice. Not alot to see really but it's a good place to hang out walk around like in the square which is covered in yellow bricks i keep thinking "god i wish my mom were here she knows that weird skip thing that they do on the yellow brick road" in the wizard of oz, you know on the way to see the wizard. Everyone keeps looking at me funny, shannon notices it to we've decided it's either my lip piercing of my blue eyes but everywhere they just give me this odd stare. We like our hostel and they have a french toast breakfast for 11 E so we LOVE IT> Greece is in two days, it's warm there it's a good thing. . .
