Romania

THIS STREET FULL OF GRAFITTI.

SO MUCH STREET ART..

 Bucharest.: ROMANIA.:
My introduction to Bucharest was one of immediate confrontation with some really aggressive taxi drivers...the worst I had ever come across..I had been given the address of a great Hostel here in Bucharest..and it was further than I wanted to walk..I finally gave in and got what I thought was a fair price...still a big rip off.. The Hostel that I stayed in was called "The Umbrella " and a really great Hostel...the most helpful that you would wish for..great staff..This was one of those Hostels where you ticked all the boxes. I really enjoyed my short stay of some three days here.     I got lost more here than anywhere...smile...just could not work out the busses..on one occasion as I was getting on the bus the driver closed the doors on me as I was getting on and I really hurt one of my legs in the process.. This day  my agenda was a trip and a few beers to the Hard Rock Cafe..This was located by a lovely big lake and large park...so lovely on such a beautiful day...I was having so much luck with good weather on my travels through Eastern Europe as it never rained once. I really enjoy my visits to various H,R,C.'s and The manager here was a really friendly woman that loved her job and had a great chat..she even showed me her jacket and collection of H.R.C. pins from all over where she had worked..Unfortunately I have lost so many photos that were on another card from Greece, Romania, and Hungary..My next stop was one I have always wanted to make...at the top of my list ..Budapest..

NOT MUCH  FAITH IN THIS POSTAL SYSTEM.

  NEVER USE TAXIS IN BUCHAREST..EXPECT AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS TO" RIP YOU OFF"
