After arriving in Bucharest and freeloading off of the McDonalds WiFi for a few hours, my team and I hopped on board a train car with an exterior that was riddled with graffiti and inside the smell of urine permeates throughout. With its flickering white fluorescent lighting, David brought up the fact that this very much reminded him of The Midnight Meat Train. The girls start to freak out even more. And thus it carried us off through the borders into our new country.
As a major pain to everyone’s arse, customs came through our cart twice in the middle of night for our passports. And at five in the morning we arrived at our first transfer in Nowhere, Bulgaria. After nearly freezing to death for three hours, we took another train that would take us further into Nowhere, Bulgaria. After arriving at Nowhere, we switched trains to yet again go to Nowhere. And finally we reached the station where our contact was waiting to pick us up. And there we ran into a restaurant with this on the door.
To think that people would even have the audacity to smoke in a restaurant in this country.
After a short van ride we finally arrived at our final destination, Hisarya, Bulgaria. A small little resort town famous for its mineral springs and ancient Roman fortifications. Since its winter time we have this nice little town to ourselves. Debrief is tomorrow. Stay tune.
