2005 BALKANS TOURBen Oostdam |
Torokbalint |
| To update yesterday: I took bus 7 back after my conquest of the Citadel and lunch, and slowly transfered to 178 or something like it. That bus, however, went the "wrong" way but took me into a nice country village. When I realized my mistake, I got off and waited a long time for another bus which eventually got me to Torokbalint, so that it was late in the afternoon when I got back to Etap Hotel. |
|
| There, I had tea and a pleasant chat with Maria, till all of a sudden a bus appeared with 72 traveler Czechs. It was amazing to see how efficiently Maria - all by herself - booked them all for the night even though she said later that they had not made any reservations. I talked with some of them, then also with a Russian couple and finally with a Brazilian, Edson, taking the European Tour with his Mother Valesca and sister. |
| A funny thing happened at breakfast the next morning: Edson first took a picture of me next to his charming mother and sister. (left)
He then asked one of the waiters to take a shot of all four of us, but the man misunderstood and sat down at our table. Since we did not have the heart to deny him that pleasure, I told Edson to sit next to him and took the picture myself.(right) |
|
| We then said all of our goodbyes and keep-in-touch's and visit us's and climbed upstairs to pack. At 10:00 my mini bus showed up and took me to the airport for my next AIR-FRANCE/KLM flight, to Paris. |
