About to leave for home
After 5 days out in the wilderness (well, not so much the wilderness as small farming towns), I am back in Gura Humorului. As I said in my last post, it is a very small town, so it is rather funny that it feels like 'civilization' compared to where we've been. Of course I will be posting nice detailed entries complete with pictures when I get home (I'm a bit dissapointed that I couldn't post them while actually in Romania. It was nice having all of you follow along with my adventures.), but I'll just give you a quick run down of where I've been and where I'm going.
First things first, where I've been over the past week:
-From Gura Humorului, we headed out to Vatra Moldovita (tiny farming town surrounding the Moldovita Monastery), where we stayed in a traditional Romanian farmhouse for two nights.
-After two days without a shower, we were ready to move on, and we left for Suceavita. Suceavita is another small town, but with less farming. Most of the activity in Suceavita seemed to revolve around the Monastery. There was not much to do or see in Suceavita, so we moved on after one night.
-After hitchhiking to Radauti to use the ATM, we caught a train to Putna. Putna is about 10 km from the Ukranian border, and the monastery there is actually home to a very active community of monks. We befriended a preist who spoke English, and stayed for two nights in the campground run by the monks, after which we returned to Gura Humorului.
Where I'm going now:
-I am leaving for Cluj-Napoca by train at about 3pm today. Patrick is staying in Romania for another two weeks before heading back to France until mid-August, so he will acompany me as far as Vatra Dornei. I will arrive in Cluj at about 8pm.
-I had hoped to spend the night in Cluj, but I don't think that is going to work out, so I will get on a sleeping car at about 1am bound for Budapest. My train will arrive in Budapest at about 8am.
-My flight leaves Budapest for London at about 3pm. So that gives me 7 hours to get from the train station to the airport (more time than strictly necessary? I think so).
-I'll get into London Gatwick at around 6pm on Tuesday. My flight to Detroit Metro leaves Wednesday at around noon. Because London is ridiculuosly expensive, I plan on spending the night in the airport. So I will have about 16 hours to find England football jerseys. Wish me luck :).
