We part ways

Today we part and do our own thing.
Steve got up at 4.30 to catch a 7.40 am plane to Timosaura in Romania to go on a 10 day hunt up north. It's the same place he hunted when we were here before Covid but going longer for different animals.

I'd booked him a taxi yesterday, we had it paid for and we got all the details of the driver and the car but..... he got "kidnapped" as he called it by a scamming taxi driver. He said this bloke met him and the boot of the car was up already. It wasn't until they were nearly at the airport and the driver started to haggle about and insist on payment that Steve realised he was in the wrong car! The driver wouldn't take card and insisted on American dollars. Steve only had a $50 Australian note on him so that's what the driver got!!
Apparently the domestic check-in etc was a "shitshow" but he got to Timosaura ok.

So I did a 🚲 tour of Bucharest today. I'd booked a half day bicycle tour of the city through AirBnB Experience. They do experiences as well as accommodation. It worked well.

So I met the guide according to directions. A couple from Liverpool and another couple from Israel joined us. Took 4 hours but we stopped a lot and talked a lot about Bucharest and Romanian history. We rode on bike paths and bike roads and footpaths and parks so it was pretty easy and safe. It was a great way to see more than you would on a walking tour.

Then home for a sandwich and a rest.
Tea around the corner so I didn't have far to walk home in the dark. There are lots of places to eat close by.Read more
