and finaly home - have a minor flood - seems to be A/C related - am sorting now

Manic rush across frankfurt airport, as there was 40mins between landing from Bucharest and take off of Qatar airways flight 28 halfway across the airport, ran across the airport and grabbed boarding pass at the gate, with about 5 mins to spare, brutally efficient boarding practice back of the plane rows 30-44 first no exceptions, a 6 hr flight with time change effect.

Well as i sit here in Bucharest airport and reflect on my trip – its been fantastic, 3 weeks of eastern European beauty, from the beaches of Croatia, music festivals of Serbia, and the plains and mountains & castles of Romania, its been great,

i feel i must write more about my trip around Romania as i haven't blogged since getting to Romania and my parents place – dad took me on a trip around the cultural highlights of central romania, including Brasov, and into the mountains, as well as the European city of culture, and the birthplace of vlad the impaler (the closest thing that there is to Dracula)

stunning as you can see from the photos.

Flight one is now complete, from Cluj to Bucharest – then the flight im about to take takes me to frankfurt where i get a connecting flight to Doha on a Qatar airways flight.

romania

am nw in cluj with my fols - there happy here - im pretty drunk - i blame them

Well as i write this im in nomans land between serbia and romania, on posibly the oldest train in existence, it looks like the last time it had a refit- was sometime during the early era of Tito, with a toilet that Stalin may have used – no problems it has whisked me from Belgrade to the border fairly easily and with no stress, i have a Formica lined cabin to myself, which i availed myself of earlier for a little snooze, and i would be really comfortable if i wasn't melting into my leatheret seat at the rate of gallons per hour – its hot today maybe 37 and there is of course no A/C, i have a connection to make via Timisoara to get to Cluj at around 10pm tonight which delivers me into Cluj at about 5.30am!

I decided to skip the last day of exit – 7 days and nights of dancing in the past 12days have worn me out, decided that my bed was the best option after sleaping in till 4pm, popped out for dinner then watched before sunrise – beautiful film – just watched the sequal today – sadly not as good – but still worth checking out if you get the chance.

well i stayed up all night partied till dawn, felt great, now feel less than sub-human
