So jumped on the train at 22:00 hours, had a compartment with 4 french lads from Nantes, good lads, slept till about 12 noon which was a bonus, read quite a lot, learnt some italian, bit of banter in between! got a lot of attitude from passport control in and out of Bulgaria and entering Romania...
"English?! Yes, i reply... how long have you been in Bulgaria, about 8 hours sir... where were you before that... istanbul sir... how long were you there... about 3 days sir... ok (with a stern look), on none of these occasions did they pick on the french lads! I thought some of them were gonna strip search at some points! Also had once again the funny laugh from the Turkish passport control, thinking one that the passport wasn't mine and two, how different i look! fecking cheek!
Arrived into Romania about 8 o'clock so a swift 22 hour journey, complete culture change from Istanbul, Bucharest looks run down as you like, got settled into hostel... bloody amazing, a bit out of the centre but all the treats, free washing, free internet, free Breakfast, Playstation, DVD's, Dartboard... Butterfly Villa Hostel, Get in!
Spent the evening playing card game called Hearts, having a few beers... absolutely bossed! Easy... Easy... You shut up!!!
