Craiova-Timisoara-Arad-Oradea-
Cluj Napoca- Baia Mare-Sigisoara-Brasov-Bucharest
Naturally, next stop for us was Baia Mare.
But first how we got there…
It was raining (couldn`t be
the other way). On our way to the hitch-hiking spot we
saw some competition. Okay, only one guy with a sign “BM” (if my memory is
correct). So, we crossed a bridge, stood in the rain for some minutes
10;20;30.. ..A guy with his wife stopped. And who also was in the car..The guy
we saw before with the BM sign. Funny. Also it was funny to drive with the car
because the wheel was on the other side. Never the less the funny things were
not over! For ~2 hours we had to listen to Romanian popular
music. Don`t get me wrong. It`s not that a don`t like
this music..But for 2 hours?! C`mon. I was getting so aggressive.. It was
killing me softly. Okay, not softly but as brutal as it can get. And that was not it. The guy at the wheel was freaking crazy. Who
drives like that..WHO? Especially on that kind of
road-with sharp turns, going up and down, with some endings on the other side..
God! It was terrible (well not as terrible as our ride from Brasov to Pitesti).
Let`s skip the other details, like a hay
glue sniffing woman in Baia Mares bus station and so on.
Why did we go to Baia Mare. The only reason
was to visit our fellow volunteers whom we first met on our on-arriving
training in Predeal. Stars of the day were Robin from Belgium, Paulina from
Poland and for some hours Predrak from Serbia (I don`t really know how to write
his name correctly, sorry for that). So, we walked
up to the 5 or 6 floor to put our small
bags in the apartment (the lift was broken, of course).
After having a dinner with Justine we went to meet them again (they had to go
to their office to have some meeting) and had a tour around the old city.
Pretty. What can I say. Let`s skip the details about the architecture.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo. In
the evening we had some Polish vodka, vine and vine. And basically that sums it
up. Great time & company!
Ah. Yeah, If you read the previous
entrance, also Baia Mare was included in the joke. Why? Because in Romanian
Baie is bathroom.. So Baia..Baie.. Maybe now you will get a bit the sense of
the joke.
Gata!
