Romanesti

Friday 29^th of June



George was an awesome host and his village very friendly and nice. I only had time to spend there one night, but even in that time I got to experience a very welcoming environment and lots of hospitality. I also saw George milk a cow, and in the morning we had milk almost straight from the cow. They did boil it first though, so it was warm milk. Pretty good. No one else in the village spoke English, so mainly I communicated with George. But still for example when I was just walking around the village, one guy gave me a lift with his horse... Hitchhiking with a horse basically!



Now I'm sitting on a train on my way to Brasow, Transylvania. The ticket was the most expensive so far, over 20 euros. But it is a long ride of 8,5 hours and it's quite comfortable, so I guess I can live with that. I happened to end up in same cabin with a nice local couple who doesn't speak a word of English. During the long hours we have despite that fact learnt a lot of each other and it made the trip much shorter. At one point I saw them trying hard to tell someone to join our cabin. I didn't know why because so far we had tried to avoid the crowded cabins and had even changed the cabin a couple of times so that there would be enough space for everyone to sleep. But suddenly when I saw the person they tried to get to our cabin I got the point. It was a very beautiful young woman and they were trying to get her join us because of me! It was the funniest moment in a while...
