Eurojournal - 12 Dec 2006

Another adventure for us. We caught the bus at 7am to Brasov. We needed to go there to get train tickets for our trip to Poland and we wanted to make one more visit there. We also were craving our favorite Italian restaurant with the best bruschetta and spaghetti ever. It was a beautiful ride over the hills along bumpy dirt roads much like the ones at home. We arrived and spent some time at the travel center getting tickets. We took a bus to town and found our restaurant. When we arrived, it was quiet. We were then greeted by the owner and her grandson who looked about 2-3 years old. He was very drawn to Luna and Liam and eventually sat with us while his grandmother and mother were working until our food arrived. Again, the best food ever, much better than when we were in Italy!

The ride home was fun. First it was crowded so Liam and I snuggled in the back next to an older woman with a bunch of boxes. She offered to let Liam sit on the boxes. He was delighted. We dozed off and woke up when the bumps were big. Some more seats opened up and we had our own seats. James met a woman who spoke some English and later found out that her friend was a relative of Csaba’s, small world. A man from another village and I attempted to talk despite my limited Hungarian and his English. What was interesting was we managed to discover much about each other. It was so fun to meet people on this rather long 3 hour bus ride.
