We haven’t done a whole heap this week thus far hence the lack of updates recently… I (Glen) went to see a football (soccer) game between FC Brasov and Croaiva Uni on Monday night which was very interesting. Sadly Brasov lost 3-0, but it was still a really enjoyable game/experience.

With our previous average experience on Romania’s train system, which isn’t cheap, we thought we’d hire a car, considering there was 4 of us – Larissa (California), Vicki (Melbourne & more recently, Cyprus), Deb and myself.
