romania

Finally I get a chance to update my blog. I was having internet troubles in the hostel, but i now have it under control. Unfortunately I did not bring the cable for my camera to upload photos. You will have to wait until next week. Okay, so I took a 22 hour train ride from Istanbul to Bucharest (the capitol of Romania). It was a miserable trip on a crap, po-dunk, train. Bulgaria wasn't too much to look at either.

Bucharest was not really a fun town to stay in. We had to walk around for like 2 hours at night looking for a place to stay, when we finally gave up and went to a Hotel and paid 30 euros a night, per person. We disliked bucharest so much that we got on the first train we could to go to Brasov, a fair sized city nestled in the Transylvanian mountains. We really really like Brasov. We've got a nice, cheap hostel and we have done some hiking, and today we went to the Castle Bran (the castle which inspired bram stoker or something). Okay, there are people waiting in line to use the computer, so I have to get off. I'll post some pictures real soon.
